Does that mean you think Snape lives too FJ?

suezee · 08/07/2007 16:05

i belive that snape is also in the bigger plans here, and if dracos mother went and told voldermort that he wouldnt agree to the unbreakable vow, voldermort would definately know that he was still dumbledores man, therefore he would have been killed.

Ooh I linked to that earlier Kerrymum. There's some discussion down below about it.

funny looking at the actress playing aunt petunia in philosphers stone last night, she just looked so embarrassed by Hagrid. Aunt Petunia knows a LOT more than she is letting on i think.

i think i'll wait until sunday for OOTP. may not be quite so crowded...

AlbusPercivalWulfricBrianSun · 08/07/2007 16:10

I think Narcissa asked Snape and he said yes.
Petunia deinitely knows a lot. It's clear from (I think) the first book that she was jealous of Lily, but I wondered if that jealousy had something to do with one of the men in Lily's life - whether Petunia loved James perhaps. She seems so shrivelled,even about Dudley, and with love being such a theme I think she must have had some passion somewhere and at some time.

fillyjonk · 08/07/2007 16:13

reading the notw article

i it possible that she in some way HAS been a witch?

that she either chose to give up her magic or her magic was somehow transfered from her to her sister?

fillyjonk · 08/07/2007 16:13

ack meant petunia wrth cwrs

suezee · 08/07/2007 16:14

yes the unbreakable vow was sort of forced upon him.does anyone wonder if draco may kill his father??????????

AlbusPercivalWulfricBrianSun · 08/07/2007 16:15

Nooooooooo. I love Lucius, they can't kill him.

fillyjonk · 08/07/2007 16:16

no, DD will have anticipated the forcing of the unbreakable vow

its right there in the opening scene

the twist will be that its part of the Plan

fillyjonk · 08/07/2007 16:17

VERY little has happened in the HP universe that DD didn't anticpate or plot

suezee · 08/07/2007 16:19

lol fillyjonk.lucius is a great character but he has caused much destruction to peoples lives including his own son, i think it could happen

persephonesnape · 08/07/2007 16:35

snape could have an unbreakable vow to protect harry as well though...what happens if you have two - would the earlier one cancel out the latter one?

I'm not all together certain that Regulus is dead either.

fillyjonk · 08/07/2007 16:37

oooh interesting, wonder if thats the answer

or if, put simply, he IS protecting malfoy.

suezee · 08/07/2007 16:39

thats a really good question because it doesnt say that you can only have one unbreakable vow, maybe dumbledore made snape promise to protect harry due to the part he played in harrys mum and dads death

suezee · 08/07/2007 16:40

yes filly because he has always had a soft spot for malfoy.it is almost like the relationship dumbledore and harry had

MrsWeasley · 08/07/2007 17:36

malfoy tried to befriend Harry in the first book. Maybe he wanted to be good! It is possible to be good in a family of bad (the blacks).

V wouldnt care if Draco had died he gave him the mission to punish the Malfoy family for Lucius's mistakes.

persephonesnape · 08/07/2007 17:58

Malfoy tried to befriend Harry, because he saw the dark arts within him - remember the hat wanted to put Harry into Slytherin....

i don't necessarily believe the first part of that btw, - just thought i'd chuck it in to be a little devils advocatey.

lilibetpotter · 08/07/2007 18:25

I thought that Jonathon Ross played down Dumbledore's death as he was a bit surprised at JKR mentioning it.

Remember that some people have only seen the films, so he was playing up Cedric's death which could be the last death that some know about.

I thnk she was wrong saying it actually.

lilibetpotter · 08/07/2007 18:26

I think Regulus is alive too!

MrsWeasley · 08/07/2007 18:39

oh persephonesnape you meany.
