Mrs W it's the slytherin in me! ( oh! wishful thinking!)

persephonesnape · 08/07/2007 19:21

I think Regulus faked his death - went underground so V couldn't find him. theres no body in the grave.

If indeed, there is a grave!

MrsWeasley · 08/07/2007 19:22

persephonesnape: LOL

I can only assume that the house came to Harry because sirius left a will and everyone thinks Regulus dead!

MrsWeasley · 08/07/2007 19:25

LOL at "the slytherin in you" not your regulus comment.

I too think there is more to him than we know yet!

kate100 · 08/07/2007 19:33

I think Aunt Petunia is a witch too!! But a non praticing one, as she thinks it's 'unnatural'.

Malfoy won't die, he needs to be saved by someone, I felt sorry for him when he was trying to kill DD, he clearly didn't have it in him.

TransfiguratingLily · 08/07/2007 19:34

Harry might not mind if Regulus is still about...didn't he hate the house and didn't want to inherit it..

fillyjonk · 08/07/2007 19:37

"malfoy tried to befriend Harry in the first book"

yes but becuase he wanted him to be evil.

re regulus. Surely he was the one who took the locket and hid it? So he MUST be dead-the letter basically said so.

fillyjonk · 08/07/2007 19:37

"I think Aunt Petunia is a witch too!! "

I think this has been explicitly denied by JKR, no? Am I wrong?

kate100 · 08/07/2007 19:39

Malfoy wanted to be Harry's freind because of his notoriety and influence, for what he could get out if it, not because he wanted a friend, BUT I don't thinks he's evil, a bully and arrogant, but not evil.

kate100 · 08/07/2007 19:39

It hasn't been deied, she said she wasn't a squib and she wouoldn't perform magoc, but not that she wasn't a witch.

kate100 · 08/07/2007 19:40

What crap typing

fillyjonk · 08/07/2007 19:41

really? are you sure?

if so then-you are onto something, i think

oooh perhaps she has been told that she can't perform magic a la hagrid?

Blandmum · 08/07/2007 19:44

I've read that they person who performs maioc late in life for the first time isn't petunia. JK has said it, so it must be true!

suezee · 08/07/2007 19:44

thats what i thought, i really think that petunia got her powers when harry was left on her doorstep, remember she will not say what was wrote in the letter from dumbledore

skay · 08/07/2007 19:50

I think Petunina may die because she is the only other person who is related to Harry who can protect him.
All the other people have died. (His parents, Sirius, Dumdledore.)

kate100 · 08/07/2007 19:51

I don't think Petunia will be the one to do magic (I think that will be Diddykins), but I think she could if she wanted to.

skay · 08/07/2007 20:03

What would that acheive?

Petunia and Dudley both hate Harry, Petunia can't stand anything magical, she said as much in the first book.
I don't think Dudley would perform magic even if he could. He knows that his parents don't like it and he is always running to his parents. "Muuum Harry's doing You-know-what again".

MrsWeasley · 08/07/2007 20:05

yes but if Dudley could then he would but has he got it in him to be good !

skay · 08/07/2007 20:07

Dudley.... Bad Boy. .....

Nah.

skay · 08/07/2007 21:30

Oh God....

I've killed this thread.

I think I may change my name after all

To Umbridge.

tigerschick · 08/07/2007 21:36

lol skay!!

No you haven't killed anything! It'd take more than that to stop us Potterites (or what ever we call ourselves!)

I really can't decide who is going to be the one to do magic, JKR has already squashed my favourite theory of Aunt Petunia.... but I'm not convinced about Dudley.

expatinscotland · 08/07/2007 21:38

You haven't killed anything. But JK Rowling certainly has .

janeite · 08/07/2007 21:38

Quite like the idea of it being Dudders who does magic for the first time. But I wondered if it might be Filch - or has that idea already been scoffed at somewhere, I've forgotten!

expatinscotland · 08/07/2007 21:47

It's probably going to be Arabella Figg

LaDiDaDi · 08/07/2007 22:02

I agree with expat re Figgis.

I think that Snape loved Lily, she knocked him back and went for James. Sbnape went for Volde on the rebound and then regretted it once Lily sacrificed herself so that Harry could live. Snape hates Harry because if his mother hadn't loved him so much she wouldn't have sacrificed herself for him and thus be lost to Snape forever. However, Snape now feels immense regret that his actions lead to Lily's death, as he thought only James would die, and thus feels he must protect Harry.
