Psyduck- Hee hee, you tried to say d.a.m.n didn't you? I saw your topic thing saying that we should be able to quote directly from the characters and I am with you 100%.
"Give her heck from us."
Fred and George didn't say that!
Buff- Jo also says that there was someone else at Godric's Hollow on the night of the Potters' murders. (Well. OK. What she actually said was "no comment" when asked if there was anyone else there. Samething!) I think this was Snape. He'd given the info about the prophecy, hinted to Potters' because he was so jealous of James but, because he still loved Lily, begged Voldy to let her live. Snape was there in the shadows watching to see if 'his' Lily was alright. He watches in blind, awful terror as the whole thing goes horribly wrong. Shocked at what's happened, he gets back to Dumby and confesses his sins. The horror of that night means that he cann't stand being called a coward because he just 'lurked' by and watch it all happen... What you think???
When you put it like that, it makes sense, but I don't think Lily would have loved Snape. Maybe Snape love Lily, and Lily never really knew.
Well, yes, Harry was there, but where did the stories come from, then? Hagrid knew before Patronus lessons what had happened and he told Harry.
That does fit in with the Snape theory. He would have told the order what happened when he came to the good side.
Or, if there was no survivor but Harry there that night, could Dumbledore have performed Occlumency on baby Harry and seen what had happened. Maybe during that minute or so when they watched him silently on the doorstep, Dumbledore could have done Occlumency.
I really don't know.
Pettigrew, I'll have a think about that one and get back to you.
Great topic, by the way. Something new to excercise our brains with. |
