Neville Longbottom

Zonko mate, I would never say any theory is wrong - unless I do - because you may be right and then I'd look silly or you may turn out to be wrong and I can say "Nah nah ne nah nah", which I do like to do. I'm just thinking that the wording of the supposed JKR statement is more cryptic than "a character you meet in the CoS will come back in HBP". Then agin, that's our Jo!

JKR is pretty annoying with these clues. She reminds me of Dobby when he's giving Harry that clue about who is going to be trying to kill him at Hogwarts that year and says that it wasn't Voldemort (with a wink). Dobby then couldn't believe that Harry hadn't got that this obviously, meant Tom Riddle! Cedric is another eg. of her throwing us with this "a major character will die" stuff. It'll be like that again, we'll read HBP and look at all the 'clues' she's given us and go "what? How has that got to do with what happened?". With this scepticism, I don't think it was anything major that happened in the CoS either. It's fun trying though isn't it?

I agree with you....

harry was born on the 31 of july and i think nevil was born on the 30 coz the proph said the both boys will be born as the 7th month dies.
and yeah i agree that harrys half coz thats why voldy choose which boy to kill .
voldy was more scard of the half blood then the pure perphs coz voldys a half blood?

Yep, Neville's the pure blood and Harry's the half blood.

I reckon that the Longbottoms will come back into it though.
Why were the Le Stranges sent to torture them?
What info. did they have that Voldemort wanted?
Why did Voldemort send the Le Stranges to the Longbottoms but he decided to take on the Potters himself? It wasn't like Voldemort to do his own dirty work. Therefore, he obviously thought anything to do witht he prophecy was too important to let others into. Jo's said that tehre were very few who knew about the prophecy and that the Le Stranges were not in on the secret. Why not?
Did the LeSranges attack on the Longbottoms have anything to do with the prophecy? I reckon it must have. The prophecty was at the forefront of Voldemorts mind at that time. So why did the LeStranges go to the Longbottoms and what info. did they want to get out of them?

As I've posted somewhere else, did the info. the Longbottoms were tortured for have anything to do with the Potters, does Neville know about it? How will Neville react when/if he finds out that his parents were tortured to protect Harry and his parents?
Will this inspire him further as a DA member or will he look for revenge against Harry?

Yes that is true but also remember his Aunt is her sister so that tells you Harry is a Half blood

Well like we all said that V hatered gave him his strength and now Harry as strength of hatered building up agains V because remamber when Harry was not planning on going after Sirius but once he found out he help kill his parents because eveyone thought it was Sirius that did it Harry flipped and started to look or if he found sirius he would kill him?? So maybe V makes harry become strong then he was suppose to be. Plus some of his powers went into harry so???

Maybe Harry finds out the Tom Riddle when he was an orphan got addopded by not harry's father but maybe grand father and james and tom where stepbrothers? And Tom hated James because everyone loved him and left Tom on the side line again like his father did???

We will have to wait and see if this theory is right. Because why would Vol go after Harry's family and himself and not send the death eaters to do his deed??

One more thing the howler Harry's aunt gets who was that from i forgot?
Help me out on this one please?

Lupin: The Howler was from Dumbledore, unless my mind is playing tricks (which I'm willing to accept it might be, since I was up at stupid-o-clock this morning).

Buffybuff: I haven't figured out how to quote direct from postings yet, so you'll have to bare (bear?) with me. When it comes to the Le Stranges torturing Neville's parents, I thought that the whys and wheres were discovered in GoF in the scene where Harry looks into the Pensieve? They actually tortured Neville's parents AFTER Voldemort was destroyed, thinking that - presumably because the two of them were aurors - they had information on Voldemort's whereabouts. That's why they - and of course, Barty Crouch Jr. and wasn't there another Death Eater there as well? - consider themselves to be Voldemort's most faithful servants.

An interesting side note about the Le Stranges and particullarly Bellatrix, has anyone else noticed that Voldemorts seems to have a certain soft spot for her? Can't remember exactly why I thought that, but I think it was during the MoM scene at the end of OotP I picked up a certain sensitivity in the way he was speaking to her. What does everyone reckon, are the Death Eaters into a bit of Swinging when they're not commiting diabolical deeds?

They might be into some swinging or sience eveyone is some how related maybe Belltrix is like Vold either niece or very close to him? Maybe it is his wife?

I kind of picked that up at the end of the book was not sure why Vold did not just kill her. I mean we see Vold give a drats about the rat that was very true to him so Why would he be nice to her???

Maybe we will now more in the 6th book?

Slopey Dope: To reply/ duplicate someone elses post, you just press 'quote' in the top right hand side of the post you wanna quotes, box. I hope this works. I've been told that Australian's format is defferent.

You are absolutely right, the LeStranges, Crouch et al. , tortured the Longbottoms AFTER Voldemort was dethroned. They tortured Mr Longbottom try to find out where Voldemort had fled to and then tortured Mrs Longbottom... maybe to try to loosen Mr's tongue...???. Mrs Longbottom was NOT an auror (I was surprised by this one too. Most sites refer to them both as aurors.) I reread YET AGAIn!! and...: naaa! :
It's just Frank Longbottom who was an auror though both he and Alice were members of the Order.

Lupin: Yep. The Howler was from Dumbledore. But, as is discussed on other threads, Jo has made it clear that this was FAR from the first letter to Petunia: Dumb had written letters to Peti even BEFORE JAMES AND LILY WERE KILLED!! Now, what's THAt about???

Bellatrix (nee. Black) is married to Rodulphus LeStrange not Voldemort. Voldemort says that he 'likes'/ 'approves' of the pair of them in the graveyard scene, GoF. Don't know if there's anything 'fishy'/ sexy going on there between Bagotrix and Voldy though...???

I reckon the reason why Volemort took Bagotrix with him when he left MoM and none of his other Deatheaters, is because all the others were captured, she was all he had left! Sorry, I've never picked up any 'sensitivty' to anything when Voldemort talks.
Swinging with the Deatheaters??? Maybe! Dark Magic's suppose to be abit like that isn't it??? seem like pretty a-sexual kinda beings though.

Did you know that some of the Hoggers' proffessors are meant to be married?? Don't you reckon Dumb's always shown a bit of a twinkle in his pincez's for Poppy Pomphrey??? - The nurses uniform does it everytime (hee hee)

Harry and Voldemorts Relationship:
There's a theory out there in chat-world that just as Voldemort is Heir to Slytheirn, Harry is Heir to Gryffindor. I don't know what this means but... hmmm! anyway

As I've posted everywhere (particularly in 'Can Voldemort Kill Harry?' thread) I reckon that the realtionship betweeen Voldemort and Harry has only begun to be explored. The really important question is : Can Voldemort be killed? The Avada curse rebounded and IT didn't kill him...????
Another question to ask is 'can Harry be killed?' One person/ voldemort REALLY tried once, and ... nope!!! Soooo.... is Lily's protection still valid??
'Can Voldemort Kill Harry and visa versa'??? If yes, how? - Can't be Avada?
If 'no', where does that leave the prophecy: "neither can live while the other survives.." ??????????????
It's a worry!

Good points about H and V. I think theycannot kill eachother but with his monthers curse that I think might be lifted well maybe they can kill eachother now? V when he came back took H blood which means that now he as the protection of his mother?? That is something that will probably have to wait maybe the protection does not come with the blood maybe it as to do with his spirt?

As for H being the heir of G that would be sweet and cool I can see that happening?

I think this is the beginning to the end because there is only 2 books left and there will be a lot of info in them which will be sweet and I cannot wait for the books to come out.
