dumbledore....

hI everyone!!! well, wat do u think, who actually killed Ariana?? do u think dumbledore was guilty?? i mean after he had so much repentance???

i guess it was grindelwald who kiled Ariana but i'm not sure.better ask JK(n do tel me!!!!!)

thats something we (and DD, GW, Aberforth too) will never find out....

I know this sound weird but I think that we can't place the blame on one person it was everyones fault just they were all firing curses and the curses would have been flying around and they were probably bouncing of things......

Things kind of point towards Dumhbledore being guilty, though there's enough doubt that it's hard to say for sure if he was the one whose spell killed Ariana. It is possible, perhaps, to eliminate Aberforth from the suspects. If he had killed his sister, a lot of his hatred would have been directed more towards himself and not entirely at his brother. Also none of the brothers went to avenge Ariana's death. Aberforth, at least, I would have thought was the type who would have confronted the person who killed his sister. He did confront someone though, and that was Dumbledore, after the funeral.

I think Dumbledore was a lot likely to be the killer . Maybe he himself knew that he killed Ariana , or why should he feel so ashamed ?

Yeah, as I said it all does tend to point towards him.

A question though. Was Ariana's death worded as murder or accident?

accident I think is what she said.....

I thought Aberforth accused Dumbledore of abandoning Ariana.
I don't think Aberforth ever actually accused Dumbledore of committing murder.

I think there was resentment between Aberforth and Albus... but - I don't think Dumblydore did the deed to cause the death.
