A. It will be called “HP and the Deathly Hollows.” Notwithstanding this title, Hewlett-Packard products will play only a minor role in the plot. By all that is good and right and true, the book should be released on 07/07/07. By all that is bad and petty and lucrative, Warner Bros. decided to release the next HP movie around that time, so commercial concerns dictate the book release date had to change. Purgatory will provide CEO Barry Meyer ample time to ponder the wisdom of this decision.

B. Harry returns to Privet Drive for his last summer, but the Dursleys are so totally pissed with him that they turn the place into a virtual prison. Death Eaters attack, but facing a combination of debilitating magic and “Home Alone”-style booby-traps designed for Harry’s benefit, they will be routed. But when it appears that Dudley is in peril, Petunia will fire off a magical blast or two, finally revealing the long-suppressed secret that Lily was not the only magical person in her family. [But allegedly Rowling has nixed the idea that Petunia is magical.]

C. Harry sneaks into the headmaster’s office and steals the mural of Dumbledore, thereby gaining a means for communicating with him. At some point the mural will be destroyed, leaving Harry (and the rest of the world) guideless.

D. Hagrid and Mde Maxime get at least some giants to side with the good guys. Ditto the centaur. Ditto Lupin and the were-critters. Maybe Bill helps Lupin; maybe he rallies support among dragons. Ditto Hermione (and Dobbie) and the house-elves, who launch into noble acts of betrayal and self-mutilation. And the merpeople don’t need any persuading, although I can’t see what good they can do anyone. (Remember Aquaman’s role in the Justice League of America?)

E. Tonks will permit herself to be bitten by a werewolf, thereby eliminating Lupin’s objection to marrying her. Then it will be revealed that Lupin is gay. Just kidding.

F. Dumbledore has hidden Ollivander to keep him out of Voldemort’s clutches, and to supply wands to the legions of house-elves that currently lack them.

G. Snape is a good guy. Snape broke w/ Voldemort when Voldemort killed the secret love of his life, Lily. Harry’s connection to both Snape’s love, and to Snape’s rival James, has always left Snape conflicted. (Snape is/was also fond of Dumbledore. Dumbledore had to remind Snape that 1) the highest goal is to stop Voldermort, 2) Snape and Harry are the keys to achieving that goal, and 3) if Snape must kill Dumbledore in order to maintain his undercover status, so be it, even if it meant that Snape would expose himself to attack by his fellow members of the Order of the Phoenix. Snape protested that this was expecting too much from him, but Dumbledore would not hear otherwise.)

H. Wormtail will eventually help Harry, or try to. But Voldemort will cause Wormtail’s silver hand to act independent of Wormtail’s will. At that point, Wormtail will splinch (partially Apperate) himself to get away from his hand; he will be rendered helpless, but he will render the silver hand helpless as well.

I. Minister of Magic Scrimgeour will appear occasionally with the reincarnated Dumbledore. This will scare the Death Eaters, confuse Voldermort (”Could love really be the path to eternal life after all…?”) and give heart to the Order of the Phoenix. It will turn out merely to be Dumbledore’s brother, that grungy Hogsmeade bartender who used to be a member of the Order, but who split with the group. In the interest of truth, Harry will disclose the fraud to Rita Skeeter even though he knows that it will dismay his friends and embolden his enemies.

J. Indeed RAB is Sirius’ brother; indeed he took the locket back to 10 Grimald Pl.; indeed Kreature had the locket in his stash of goodies. But since then Mundungus raided 10 Grimald Pl. to pilfer stuff to sell, including that locket. So Harry will go to Azkaban to rescue Mundungus, only to learn that the locket has been sold to Borgin & Burkes.

K. The Sword of Gryffendor is a horcrux; Voldemort covertly enchanted it during his job interview with Dumbledore. This will be a heartrending discovery for Harry. But Harry will then wield the sword in battle, and the Death Eaters will be loathe to take defensive measures that might harm the sword; this will place them at a disadvantage. Eventually the sword must be destroyed.

L. Is Harry a horcrux? He was. But parts of a soul seek to reunite. Consequently, when Harry’s blood was poured into the cauldron that restored Voldemort’s body, the part of Voldy’s soul in Harry passed back to Voldy. This accounts for Dumbledore’s look of triumph upon hearing this news; there’s one less Horcrux to worry about, and Voldy’s death won’t require destroying Harry.

M. There’s a shoot-out at Weasley’s Wizarding Weezes. Combatants fumble their wands onto a floor strewn with gag wands. They end up grabbing random wands and gadgets, producing random goofy results. Eventually a bunch of muggle-lovers will demonstrate the muggle way of settling conflicts; they’ll use fists (and maybe marshal arts) against a bunch of dumbfounded Death-Eaters.

N. Molly Weasley betrays the Order of the Phoenix, taking some action (or inaction) that she thinks will keep her family members away from battle. But she fails to anticipate that the ensuring battle will involve Percy. Defying Scrimgior’s orders, Percy joins the fray against the Death-Eaters and is killed. Molly is devastated. All this foreshadows Narcissa’s defiance of Voldemort (below) in an effort to save Draco.

O. Sirius is keeping up on all developments via the magic mirror he gave to Harry. Harry can’t reach Sirius, but Sirius can see and hear Harry on the odd occasions that Harry opens his trunk. The climactic scene of #7 will again occur at the Ministry, when Voldemort is trying to access a locked room said to contain the greatest power known to wizardom; he little realizes it is love. Anyway, Sirius will lead a charge of spirits from the underworld back through the arch through which he fell. (Or maybe they just send their patroni?) Either way, all of Voldemort’s prey will join in, including James & Lily. They will join with Nearly-Headless Nick and a newly-sober Peeves to route the Bloody Baron and his ilk. In the process, Nick’s head will be fully severed at last.

P. Draco is embraced by the Death Eaters as the hero who disarmed Dumbledore. Narcissa is dumbfounded and relieved, but Voldemort’s abusive treatment of the Malfoys has irretrievably damaged their loyalties. Voldemort can detect this about Narcissa, but years of Snape’s tutelage in occluemency permits Draco the conceal his feelings.

Q. Draco is “the Chosen One.” Lucius and Narcissa have defied Voldemort many times: Lucius parted with the diary. Lucius failed to come immediately when summonsed. Lucius failed to get the prophesy. Narcissa went to discuss Malfoy’s secret assignment with Snape. And desperate to prove himself to Voldemort, Lucius (broken free from Askaban) will ignore the instruction not to fight when Harry wields the Sword of Gryffindor, resulting in the destruction of the horcrux.

R. The Vault of Love at the Ministry of Magic cannot be opened without someone sacrificing his or her life. Voldemort orders Lucius to do it. When Lucius balks, Voldemort threatens to kill Draco. When Lucius balks again, Voldemort aims the Aveda Kadavra at Draco, but Narcissa leaps in the way, sacrificing herself –– as Voldemort knew she would. This sacrifice is sufficient to open the vault. But it is also sufficient to fill Draco with the Potter-like power of love –– and a motive to bring down Voldemort. Draco enters the vault, gasps with delight, and calls Voldemort to follow. Once inside, Draco will slam the door and embrace Voldemort with his newly-toxic touch. The rest is dénouement.

S. Ron inherits Percy’ Head Boy badge, prompting Ron to reflect on how petty his old dreams were. He offers it to Hermione, who simply adds it to her collection.

T. The final book with grant independent personalities to Crabbe and Goyle, and to Fred and George, perhaps by killing off one of each pair. The final book will also feature appearances by Dolores Umbridge, Victor Krum, Prof. Lockhart, the Sorting Hat, the phoenix, goblins, Gringotts and the underground railroad.

U. Oh yeah, and in the meantime Harry & Co. will attend a wedding, find and destroy all the horcruxes, have a showdown with Voldemort, and find true love. Ginny, echoing the actions of Lily, sacrifices herself to save Harry. Ok, I’m kidding about the Ginny part, too. But it’s gotta be one fat book.

PS- remember that americans asked JKRowling no to kill the poor boy!!

Here is my two cents:

1. Harry as a horcrux. It is obvious that Harry’s scar plays a HUGE role. The question is whether Harry will survive or not. Rowling is open about her religious views, and I will not be shocked if Harry is a sort of martyr in the next book. It will be very depressing if Harry dies, of course, but there will definitely be a close call.

2. Related to what I just wrote, in an interview Rowling said that the question we all need to be asking is “WHY DIDN’T DUMBLEDORE KILL VOLDEMORT IN THE MINISTRY?” By telling us this, she is giving us a clue. I personally think that Dumbledore knows, to a certain extent that Harry is/may be a horcrux. Dumbledore most certainly is able to kill Voldy, there is no question about that. I think that he does not because of Harry. If he kills Voldemort, the horcrux that has been (inadvertantly?) placed in Harry will be used immediately, and Dumbledore doesn’t want that to happen.

3. The is polyjuice potion in HBP, and we still don’t know to whom it belongs. There are any number of possibilities. Someone is not who they say they are. Is it McGonagall, as some have been suggesting? I am not so sure about this, but the idea does have a little support at the end of the final book. Harry does NOT tell her what he and Dumbledore have been doing, and I think that is significant in some way… Either way, somebody will surprise us.

4. Why does Dumbledore trust Snape so completely? I believe that there is a concrete reason. When Harry finds out that it was Snape who overheard the prophecy, he freaks out, runs to Dumbledore, and demands to know why. There is a brief scene where Rowling suggests that Dumbledore looks as though he is about to tell Harry something, but doesn’t. Perhaps Dumbledore makes Snape take the unbreakable vow to protect Harry. Perhaps he knows that Snape, by loving Lily, can’t help but love Harry to a certain extent. But there is a concrete reason that Dumbledore trusts.

5. Dumbledore is dead. He is not coming back. That doesn’t mean we wont see more of him, either in the portrait, or his pensieve. But he is dead. And Snape was supposed to him. Rowling did not put the pause there for no reason… Snape had to kill him to protect Malfoy and Harry. Dumbledore knew that Harry would try to protect him, which is why he froze Harry. He knew what was coming. Snape will be HUGELY important in the final book, as will Harry’s struggle with trusting Snape.

6. Voldemort wasn’t supposed to kill Lily. We know thise for sure. Why? Why does he care? Because he promised Snape, who I believe may have been present at the Potter’s house.

7. Voldy bring four people with him when he applies for the job at Hogwarts. Why? He kills them, placing four of the Horcruxes at Hogwarts. That is how Rowling will get the characters back at Hogwarts.

I have a few of my own that have not been previously mentioned. I am glad to see that some are still posting. I just re-read the HBP, to get myself ready for the next book(in my hopes that JKR will carry on the trend of a summer book).

Some of you are very imaginative. There are theories of twists and turns. I think that the answers are going to be a surprise, but I think the good vs. evil mantra is consistent and simple.

I doubtlessly believe that Snape and Dumbledore have some history that proves Snape is also Dumbledore’s Man. They also agreed ahead of time to certain actions-for the protection of the good and the innocent.

The reason that Dumbledore pleads with Snape , is simply because he wants to protect Draco’s innocense. Dumbledore and Snape agreed to this in the beginning. He does not want Draco to have the burden and consequence of performing an unforgivable curse.

This is also why Snape kept preventing Harry’s attempts as they were chasing to the edge of the school grounds. Harry was attempting unforgivable curses-Snape was sparing him the burden of these spells.

In all the books, the innocense of the students has been one of the most highly protected virtues.

I have a question. I may be remembering incorrectly, but hasn’t Harry’s scar stopped hurting since the end of the Goblet of Fire? Was it the horcrux in him-accessed through Harry’s blood, that Voldemort needed to come back? Just wondering.

Another. Are we sure that Sirius is dead? What is this place that he fell into? Maybe it is possible to find a way back.

Comment. Maybe “Dumbledore’s Army” will actually defeat Voldemort in the end. Harry usually works better having his allies and friend around him.

I don’t think that Lily, loving anyone but her husband james, fits the trend of morality that JKR emphasizes in all her books.

Lastly, I definitely do not think that Snape or Dumbledore know where the missing horcruxes are. I don’ t think Snape is RAB and I don’ t think that anyone in the Order is RAB. I don’t think the liquid is the horcrux or if it is I don’t think Dumbledore knew. There is a simple reason. Any vital information would be shared with Harry by Dumbledore. DD would not send Harry on a wild goosechase. He would have disclosed all pertinent information with Harry, because the ultimate quest is to destroy Voldemort. If any of these theories were true, then DD would be hindering the mission he has sent Harry to do. I have no doubt that DD has disclosed everything he knows about the horcruxes, to Harry because he wants Harry, and the Order, to be successful.

1. The green potion that Dumbledore drank in the cave was killing him. I agree with the idea that it, and not the locket, might be the real horcrux. I also think that Dumbledore told Snape early on about finding the cave and the horcrux and knew the consequences for retrieving it. Dumbledore was no idiot. He knew all about the Unbreakable Vow Snape made to spare Draco’s life. Dumbledore may have forced Snape to do things he was revolted to do (kill Dumbledore) because he knew the attempt to destroy the horcrux was going to cost him his life anyway. Notice how he made Harry promise the same thing? “Promise me that you’ll go on with the plan even if I beg you to stop.” And Harry did exactly as he was told, to his revulsion.
Dumbledore is not afraid of death, he said so in the first book… it is Voldy who fears death so much that he’s willing to destroy his own soul to gain immortality.
- by the way, some have speculated that Dumbledore may have made a horcrux to ensure he could come back to life… I KNOW for a fact that this is wrong. Dumbledore has clearly impressed upon Harry the fact that they are truly EVIL things. Dumbledore is not an evil man whatsoever (and neither is Harry or Lily evil).

2. Dumbledore is not coming back to life (although there is some significance in his ties to all things Phoenix). Part of Harry’s road to adulthood is learning to believe in himself and DO for himself. The picture in the Head’s office may offer more information or advice, but Harry, and Harry alone, is ultimately responsible for defeating Voldy. Harry had to grow up, very quickly and harshly, after Sirius’s death. This is true, all the more so, after Dumbledore’s death. He’s now a man.

3. JKR has hinted in a few interviews that Snape and the idea of redemption is extremely important in book 7. My guess is that Harry has to forgive him for being so nasty and accept that he’s really been a good guy despite his shortcomings. When Harry lets go of his hatred for Snape, he will have learned to love a little bit more, thus making him even more powerful than Voldy and able to defeat him.

4. The theme underlying the entirety of the 6th book is LOVE. Everyone seems to be finding strength through their ability to love. Ron finds that he’s in love with Hermione, even if he’s never admitted it. Harry has found a soulmate in Ginny (I really hope that continues); Tonks and Lupin; Bill and Fleur; even Hagrid has discovered the love of family in Grawp. Harry has to take all this in and realize that what Dumbledore had always told him was true. Love will conquer all.

5. I suspect that Dumbledore’s little breakdown at the end of OOtP was significant in showing us how much he really cares for Harry, like a son. He cries at the thought of how much Harry has had to deal with and what Harry must still endure. And I found some similarities in the way Lily died for Harry and the way Dumbledore sacrificed himself to save Harry. The book clearly states that the brief moment it took Dumbledore to silently cast the freezing charm on Harry cost Dumbledore the chance to block Draco’s “Expelliarmus” and defend himself. I don’t know if it would work exactly the same as Lily’s sacrifice, but I almost certain it has significance nonetheless. There is significance in the fact that we are still to meet his brother Aberforth.

6. “Neither can live while the other survives” - JKR has indicated that this was very carefully worded. It doesn’t mean they both die. Voldy is surviving through the existence of the horcruxes. Harry must, for his own sanity, hunt down and destroy Voldy and the horcruxes. Thus, Harry can’t live his life while Voldy survives, just as Voldy cannot live (happily) knowing that Harry continues to survive.

7. It is Voldy’s ignorance and hatred that will pave the way to his own destruction. Things like trying to kill baby Harry and inadvertently marking him as an equal, like ripping his soul in seven pieces because he’s never understood the value of a whole and unblemished soul (like Harry and Dumbledore, and friends).
Every time someone Harry cares about gets hurt or killed, it makes Harry stronger and more determined to rid the world of Voldy and his evilness. There is also some importance in the fact that, even though he’s tried, Harry cannot perform an Unforgivable Curse. It’s all to do with that “outstanding moral fiber”.

8. why do so many hate of you out there dislike Molly Weasley??? She’s the closest thing Harry’s got to a mother. She may even end up becoming his mother-in-law someday. Quit picking on her! He really needs her and (most of) the Weasleys in his life.

9. There is significance in Dumbledore’s last visit to Privet Drive. He implores Petunia to allow Harry to return once more before his 17th birthday to give him the last little bit of Lily’s protection. Makes me think something might happen there in July? JKR has also hinted that, although magical abilities usually show themselves in childhood, SOMEONE will surprise us with some “magicalness” late in life. Wouldn’t it be interesting if it were Aunt Petunia? Harry was starting to view her a little differently in OOtP.

10. Whereas I’m inclined to believe Harry’s SCAR might be an accidental sixth horcrux (”You could be Great, you know, and Slytherin could help you on your way to Greatness… it’s all here in your head.”) I highly doubt that JKR is going to have her hero commit suicide. Many have said it, I’ll just repeat it… these are still books written for a young audience. Marvolo’s ring was not destroyed in removing the piece of Voldy’s soul; nor do I believe Harry would need to destroy his own soul to get rid of Voldy.

Please let me know if I’m way off base on any of this.

and snape made the vow to protect him and though he was loyal to dumbledore he was absolutely trying to protect draco as well by giving hints and tips
so draco may also be right in his belief that snape is on the dark side because he was helping draco without dumbledore’s knowledge

and according to hagrid snape kept refusing dumbledore’s orders saying he was expecting too much of him and so on

but the momemnt he sees narcissa’s tear filled big blue eyes pleading with him he agrees instantly on the spot and with an unbrakable vow no less that he knows would either kill himself or dumbledore
he would have eventually done it after dumbledore pestured him but it was narciss’a request that made him change his mind and accept this most dangerous task!!!!!!!!!!!

and narcissa knows about snape’s love for draco even if he wasn’t his kid because he loved or still loves her
that is why despite her sister’s deep deep disgust and hatred and loathing and distrust in snape she with great danger to herself went to snape’s house even though bellatrix kept urging her not to go
she trusted her own son’s life with snape and he didn’t disappoint her
it was like she expected him to help her and already had a patten of where he helped her before
she almost exploiited snape’s standing with voldemort putting snape in grave danger while complimenting him using her charms and saying that he was the most trusted servant of the dark lord and blah blah blah
she made him perfrom the unbrakable vow no doubt with her sister as witness
she went cos she knew that snape will do this for her inspite of the personal risk
if this is true then there could be no truth to the fact that snape loved lilly
she was a muggle as far as he knew..pure and simple
and he called her a mudblood- a filthy word in the wizarding world
but narcissa was pure blood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!that would have appealed to him

one can’t live while the other survives and harry being ahorcrux makes perfect sense if indeed harry is a horcrux

it will be like the perfect anti climax

harry will kill voldemort in the normal climax in a deadly duel and everyone will rejoice and be joyous that harry truimphant had slayed the dark lord

and as according to the prophesy harry had survived and voldemort is dead!!!!

but if the horcrux theory it true harry will realize that his scar is the horcrux when it suddenly starts to hurt again and all and and he will slowly realize that voldemort is not complelely vanquisehd

he will again go on a crusade to search for the last horcrux and will come to understand/realize that HE IS THE ONE LAST HORCRUX and when he “slayed” him he had only destroyed five horcruxes and not 6 although dumbledore emphasized that before he destroys the last bif of soul that survived in his body he must FIRST DESTROY ALL SIX HORCRUXES BECAUSES EVEN IF ONE SURVIVES VOLDEMORT CANNOT DIE!!!

and as the prophesy says
one can’t live while the other survives

harry will finally realize its core meaning!!!!

that it means that he can’t live while the other in him survives
cos although he survived so did voldemort through him

and will kill himself in the end!!!!!

and regarding that number twelve grimmauld place contain more than one horcrux(slytherin’s locket)sounds preposterous

only dumbledore ,harry and possibly horace sluhhorn knew of voldemort’s intention of creating more than one horcrux

rab if ideed he is regulas will have only one because he truly believed there was only one since that was the norm

only the locket…not hufflepuff’s cup!!and thought that when he destroys that the dark lord will once again be mortal

and what is the connection between snape’s genius in potions evident by the potions text book THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE and lilly’s outsatnding talent in potions as well according to professor slughorn

and since both were the same age and also in slughorn’s potions class if like harry and malfoy as gryffingdoor and slytherin now have the same class probably so were they as gryffingdoor and slytherin
and hopefully slughorn as their common potions teacher will be able to shed some light on their bond!

and the “severus please….” in THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE probabbly meant not save dumbledore

but i think what he meant here was to save himself and thus honour the unbreakable vow so that he is now free and is able to show his ‘loyalty’ to the dark side and gain their trust and banish the last dredges of the suspicion esp in the eyes of people like bellatrix!!and really be voldemort’s most trusted advisor…

why did she obey him???
she could have thrown him out at any given time and harry would have been terribly vulnerable but she didn’t although harry ran away by his own will in THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN and ALWAYS her punishment when harry misbehaved was “go to your room” and NEVER “go away from our house”
why why why did she respect dumbledore’s word?????????????

her loathing of harry performing magic is eerily similar to filch’s loathing of the students who can perform magic

once when dudley ran away to her when harry jokingly pretended to jinx him,even though she knew it an empty threat was to hurl something at harry which he had to duck to thankfully escape!!

her anger and hyper sarcasm at describing lilly and her entrance to hogwarts

petunia is normally described as one who doesn’t show her emoitions..she hates mess or chaos just like her scrupulously scrubbed tables and kitchen
but when she talked about how lilly received her acceptance letter petunia was very angry and her rage was pretty evident by her choice of words
this was a rare outburst from her!!

she called her a witch!!!a witch!!!!
was she being angry cos lilly was a witch and thought that was a shame

or bacause she was not and thus had no magical power and was jealous!!
because it was evident that her Parents were incredibly thrilled with lilly going to hogwarts and coming home for the holidays with her pockets filled with frogspawn
were they angry,ashamed,sad that petunia did not qualify to attend hogwarts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and also i think that her own son yes dudley dursley is also a squib

i know it sound preposterous but please hear me out!!

dudley in his descriptions almost sounds like the evil,nasty exaggerated version of neville longbottom
while neville is clumsy,bumbling and kind dudley is cruel,calculating and a big bully
but physically they almost sound alike
and neville himself says in THE PILOSOPHER’S STONE while aboard the hogwart’s express that his entire family was convinced that he was a squib until he bounced down a street when his great uncle algie or aunt accidently let him go !!!
and how proud his entire family was when the letter arrived from hogwarts.

but i think the most revealing stunning piece of evidence that dudley is a squib and not just a plain muggle happens in THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX!!!!

dudley’s traumatising experience of the dementor attacks in the playground when harry conjured a patronus and then with mrs figg’s help took him home since he was so affected by it
this may sound like nothing BUT his startling description later to his mom and dad was !!!!!

because although dudely didn’t see the dementors he most definitely felt their presence and his desciption was almost identical to their neighbour arrabella figg-the cat lady who is also a squib
when she testifies at the wizengamot later in support of harry her description was very very similar
she too said that since she was a squib she also couldnn’t see it but felt it and how she felt that she will never ever be happy again!!

and her description was the one that probably swayed the jury in harry’s favour

and also please remember that normal muggles(non magical people )cannot see or feel the dementor attackes!!!!!

in the first chapter of THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE the old minister for magic explain to his british counterpart that , that the weather changes and the down and out feeling of depression of the general population was due to widespread dementor atackes

but they couldn’t feel anything more than see a lot of mist and feel low …unlike the graphic description of dudely’s dementor experience!!!!

but i think my boldest and biggest revelation is that personally i think that lilly is voldemort’s own daugher!!!!!!!!!!!!

my main reason for this is regarding voldemort’s eye colour
or the lack of info the author provides about his eye colour before his trasformations as he slowly kills more and more while creating horcruxes
he is always described physically in graphic visual detail as young tom marvolo riddle and then as lord voldemort
about his black hair and pale complexion and how handsome and tall he was
but while his eye’s having that red slit like look is constantly harped upon it’s original colour in never mentuoned NEVER
why why why

while lilly and harry potter’s similar eye colour is always mentioned
infact the first thing anyone ever mentions to harry is that how very much he looks like his father james potter but that he has his mother’s bright green eyes
so much so that before someone even mentions about his eyes he tells that
( to professor horace slughorn)
and yet up to now this connection has never been explained at length by the author
and yet in the very first book THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE when harry gazes absolutely faschinated at the mirror of erised he sees people who resemble him..his relatives
eg - someone with knees that resembles his and the most importnat clue people with green eyes

so there is a generation connection to the green eyes and yet there is no tie-up of that up to now
and we know this is one of harry’s unique signature traits as unique as the lightening bolt shaped scar!!!

and lilly has played no main role in the book except that we know that like james she sacrificed her own life to protect her child when voldermort kept giving her rare and never before opportunities to run and save herself esp for one who belonged to the order of the phoenix!!!!the arch rivals of the death eaters!!!
voldemort did not want to kill her and only did so because she would not allow him to cross her path and murder her baby son

why was she sooo incredibly determined to save her child and did her absolute utmost to protect without saving her own life

her choice was fight rather than flight and she did not flee!!!!

lilly knew that voldemort came for harry and not for anything else
she new that he was going to kill james fighting him so that he could get to harry
and the rest including dumbledore knew how dangerous life was for the potters since he knew of the prophesy
that is why when dumbledore heard of it he offered to be the secret keeper for the potters himslef probably a rare priviledge

he knew the grave danger they were in
and yet he never offered that same security to neville and his parents who were just as valuable to the order and he had heard the prophesy and by then probably knew about neville’s birth statistics as well
so where was their secret keeper…they had none cos they were of no significance to voldemort although the prophesy contained info that related to both harry and neville!!!!!
the moment voldemort heard the half baked prophesy courtesy of snape he knew of only one child and that was harry potter

his very own heir!!!!
and neville’s parents were tortured to insanity after the murder of the potter’s by barty crouch and that gang!!so this proves not only voldemort but a 19 year old boy had had access to the longbottoms!!

which means if lilly is indeed volemort’s child then so was petunia
but he probably disregarded her because she has no magical talent which proved right cos later only lilly got the letter from hogwarts

but they are blood sisters despite how very diferent they are in looks and personality
that is why harry was provided with powerful magical protection while he lived in privet drive

and this is also probably why voldemort couldn’t penetrate the ancient spells protecting him

it is because his own blood dwells there..esp petunia’s as she is the living direct descendent of voldemort and his blood runs in her’s and this is why dumbledore appreciated that whatever her horrible treatment, she gave him room and board
and lilly’s blood,petunia’s bllod and harry’s blood would bring full circle the spell and make it complete and all powerful!!
this would also be why voldemort esp selected harry’s blood to regenerate him!!!!

he took bone from the father,flesh from the servant and though he says blood of the enemy i think he wanted his blood cos it has ties for him too !!
and in addition to the powerful protection he says that the reason he chose it inspite of the difficuty in obtaining it was because it has the blood given by his own kith and kin-lilly
could it have an additional bonus for him too…after all voldermort would like to use his own blood to get his body back rather than some tom dick and jerry’s and harry was his closest living relative!!!

and so although voldemort wanted to visit privet drive he couldn’t because his own people were protecting him from him

and he would dislike petunia greatly cos he loathed his own father when he found out he was just a muggle and went so much as to distance himself from his name and cretaed a new identity for himslef

and petunia being a squib would be just as much loathed

and it is quite obvious that as i mentioned earlier snape knows about this and thus also knows that harry is indeed the only person who will ultimately destroy him though unlike harry and dumbledore his knowledge of the prophesy is half -baked at best!!!!
and normally snape is so frighteningly practical that he probably lays no claim in those sybil trelewney kind of stuff something he made ice cold evident when he gave his first deadly lecture in intro for potions in THE PHOLOSOPHER’S STONE.
but the moment he heard the little bit about the prophesy he took it very seriously and went directly to voledemort bcause he really belived it to be true and that this time he was in geat danger
and he would have been convincing enough for the moment he heard it voldemort set out immediately to kill harry without even re-reconsidering it and despite the bad consequences inclding the aveda kedavra backfiring he still is determined to murder him!!!!!
he doesn’t give up!!!

and also because in THE HALD BLOOD PRINCE at the end when the death eatets are running to the gates to apparate and harry is in hot pursuit one of the brother-sister team of death eaters perform the unbearable unforgiveable curse the cruciatus curse on him
harry is in unbearable pain but snape quickly repells him and says

“POTTER BELONGS TO THE DARD LORD”

and all the death eaters immediately follow his stern warning and leave harry alone when wandless and totally outnumbered except for a howling hagrid and a trapped fang and a dead dumbledore they could have easily killed him
EASILY!!!!!

WHY DIDN’T THEY ???
i think that snape meant that literally that potter belongs to voldemort…that potter is part of voldemort …his grandson..his rightful heir!!!!

as the prophesy says when harry is born in the seventh month he will be his equal cos he is the heir of voldemort
and thus an equal in terms of blood and therefore talents

and after all parseltongue was a gift that voldemort got from his ancestors
he never learned it…no one at the orphanage taught him
he inherited as part and parcel of his birth just like morfin,merope and slytherin
and i think dumbledore’s lecture in THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS is partucularly significant about the choices that one makes that ultimately shapes you rather than just bowing to fate

this would indicate that while his own destiny was slytherin ..being ultimately the heir of slytherin his choice was gryffindoor..a symbol of courage and bravery and thus it became his heritage and destiny

and though the sorting hat did indeed seriously consider putting him to slytherin because that was pretty obvious mercifully because he had some of gryffindoor’s brain enabling to think he oversaw that..saw his magnificnt bravery and put him in gryffindoor!!!!!

and him pulling the sword of gryrffindoor ultimately would prove dumbledore’s lecture and would prove that he is indeed a gryffindoor through and through by choice and action!!!!!!and convince harry that he is not slytherin’s heir but still dumbledore’s lecture sounds strange……..he never ever gave a direct answer!!!!!!only an explanation!!!

and i think in the last book at his coming of age petunia will tell harry something very revealing about lilly
it remains to be seen whether she will swallow her own so called sane human being pride and tell of her own past too even though she and vernon dursley in book one says that when they agreed to take charge of harry they made a pact to beat the magic out of him or something to that effect!!!!
after all voldemort’s love of pure bloods will make sure that the mother of his children was indeed a witch!!!!!!!!!
and thus lilly is a pure blood witch as well and thus more disgrace and ultimately loathing for petunia since she has no magical talent to speak of

and this will prove why snape fell in love with lilly because she was pure-blood
because initilly he loathed that she even spoke out in his defense while all the other students laughted and mocked him dangling upside down when james and sirius was torturing him because she (a mudblood according to snape) pitied him

that is why he disclosed to Voldemort about the prophesy
snape knew that lilly was indeed voldemort’s daughter( Remember in THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE Snape says to the brother and sister death eaters when they perform the cruciatus curse”potter blongs to the dark lord!!!!!!!!!!!!”)

so i think that snape was 100% convinced and certain that voldemort wouldn’t kill lilly potter and only just destroy james…his arch rival and the winner of lilly’s heart and and the father of her child.

i think it would have appealed to snape that not only was lilly the daughter of voldemort,but she also pitied and was very kind to him and tried to defend him when he was tortured and bullied by james and sirius but that she was also brilliant in potions..his best subject!!!!

so it was probably a shock to him when voldemort killed lilly to protect himself
i am sure the reason was he didn’t like the idea of dying for no reason ..after all he considered his own mother merope weak when she died in giving birth to him when she could have used some magic to survive but didn’t in his opinion

but since by the time he came to murder the potters his soul was already divided to 6 parts and therefore had little soul and love in his heart and so killed his own daughter to protect himslef ….as according to dumbledore the only person he loved in life was himself and besides we know he fears death…that was his plan ..to eacape death and become immortal

so snape’s plan of making voldemort kill only james and probably harry backfired completely(he underestimated voldemort’s scale of evil)and as a result the woman he loved most in his life and probably the only woman who was kind to him died in the hands of voldemort..her own father.

dumbledore probably knew this and that is why he knew snape was really on the good side because voldemort killed lilly because snape told him

and this could also be the reason why snape has the most deepest loathing for harry with all his heart and soul.
yes we know part of the reason is because he is the son of james potter…one of his former bullies

but it also could be because lilly died to protect harry
and so harry is a lasting physical reminder of lilly’s death and how he played such an important part in the gruesome crime

and this was why dumbledore couldn’t express his views of snape’s remorse to harry over lilly’s death
he knows it but can’t tell harry ..only that he trusts professor severus snape completely!

and no i do not think that harry potter is indeed the 6th or 7 th horcrux

beause in THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE dumbledore’s comments about harry’s soul being wholesome and pure and untouched by evil and protected by love…
thus causing voldemort excruciating pain when he tried to possess harry by inhabiting his soul in THE ORDER OF THE PHEONIX’s ministry of magic so much so that in the end without even dumbledore’s help harry was able to thwart him by thinking of sirius and flooding his soul with love.

so harry cannot be a place where a bit of voldemort’s soul lives!!!

but i found this incredibly interesting and i am sure that you will also appreciate this

at the ministry of magic in THE ORDER OF THE PHEONIX at the vaulted mysterious room wher harry,neville,ginny and luna could hear the voices of the dead behind the curtan,when the order of the phoenisx team and the death eaters were battling neville and harry’s dramatic experience in grappling with the small dusty glass orb contaning professor trelawney’s prophesy!!!

it was not anybody else but neville longbottom and harry potter…the very two people whe according to it who were the most worthy candidates until voldemort came and marked harry as his equeal
or he made a grave mistake and neville is the one
we don’t know but it was these two who rolled down the steps each trying to catch it and in the end it smahed to pieces and neither could hear it
mysterious!!!!!!!!!!
i also think that he has a big part and as it says “he has powers the dark lord knows not”
could it be that dumbledore and the rest didn’t know as well since they all think that nevile is just a clumsy bumbling idiot with his only talent in herbology… though enough to get an outstanding in the owl’s!!!!!!

i also wonder what is behind the curtan or rather who or what ???
will all the dead who were murdered come and help harry
voldemort used some he killed as inferi to his advantage but what about the rest
can they be the opposite of inferi and help harry like they did in THE GOBLET OF FIRE
and remeber as i said earlier it was only harry,neville,luna and ginny who were enthralled by it while hermione was afraid of it!!!!!she realized this place contained a real and tangible power and she is right most of the time!!!

as for the seventh book this is what i think will happen personally taking some wild guesses which hopefully are at least a little bit true…………..

a possible romantic tie-up for harry with fleur delacour’s younger sister gabrielle
she acording to fleur has harboured a crush since harry rescued her during the second task in THE GOBLET OF FIRE and since she also has to be equally stunning like fleur is and should be about thirteen

since gabrielle is one of the bridesmaid’s she will try her very veela best to catch harry when she comes for the wedding from France
i am sure the two maids ginny and gabrielle will compete for him although ginny promised to leave him alone to hunt voldemort

and since he is a free single man now harry might sway a bit while assaulted with her veela beauty and we all know the kind of effect fleur had on harry and ginny already hates flueur and this might make ginny very jealous and might compel her to do something rash to prove her genuine love for harry

she is very impulsive ,spontaneous,very strong and high strung

i hope she doesn’t get killed or equally worse voldemort doesn’t find out about that and ultimately uses this to snare harry to a trap!

after all dumbledore said that the always locked room at the ministry is filled with a terrible power and we now know that this terrible power is love
and as professor slughorn himslef says as he shows the amortentia portion and tells the horrfying effects of obsessive love and dumbledore himself points out that power as at once wonderful and terrible and says that harry has a vast amount of it!!!
and harry’s amortentia indeed had the combined smell which included the flowery perfume ginny wore at the burrow and also how the author JK Rowling compared harry’s love as a scaly monstrous inner beast and how he wanted to rip dean thomas limb to limb just because he saw ginny kissing her official boyfriend in the dark passage!

so without a doubt ginny is the person alive that harry most loves and so when he goes in to the room to save ginny-his one and only love in it insted finds himslef caught by voldemortand and trapped !

and there he will do the battle unto death and ultimately the very same power of love will save him because love saved him once before at the same ministry of magic from voldemort’s grip when he surely was dying from possesion when harry remembered his beloved godfather and his paternal love for him!!!

so hopefully ginny’s love for harry will revive him back to life!!!!!!!!1

rab could indeed be sirius’s brother
and i think mundungus sold it and that it will be found in egypt if indeed the author has as stated in a news atricle that the the next book has an egypt title and all we know about egypt is that bill weasley worked as a curse breaker there in a gringott bank’s branch and that the weasleys with ron’s photo of a “dying” scabbers holidayed there!
and gringotts is all about gold and cash and precious stones and vaulable priceless articles(the philosopher’s stone)
so something has to be there..something vaulable and important

and if the bank in diagon alley is reported to have dragons and security was so stringent that dumbldore before bringing the stone to hogwarts trusted their safeguarding skills i can only imagine the spells and charms and creatures guarding this one

probably the gold locket or the hufflepuff cup

or else

harry goes to check what else is stolen from him at the grimmauld place after the wedding since he will have to leave the dursley’s permanently once he is a man and thus has no other place to go
when he does the inventory he will will find the locket possibly hidden in kreacher’s raggedy nest and hopefully destroy the locket and thus the horcrux!!!!!!!!!!!!

i just hope that it does not have a shocking and ultimately revealing picture of voldemort with some one or just some one since normally people put a pic inside a locket…normally this is why people wear lockets…to store a precious pic or something like a lock of hair etc.

Ok, say Snape is RAB, and Dumbledore retrieved the real horcrux locket from the cave. Then, cornered by Death Eaters, Dumbledore gives Snape some kind of signal to indicate that Dumbledore has something in his pocket that must be kept out of the hands of the Death Eaters. Lacking any other alternative, Snape blasts Dumbledore off the tower. Then Snape races to the base of the tower to rummage through Dumbledore’s pockets while Draco and the Death Eaters stand around watching. Snape takes the real horcrux locket and leaving a fake one with a message that only Voldemort would understand. And he’s doing this … why?

I’m still mulling over people’s (Michael’s?) hypotheses about Snape’s hidden motives. So maybe Narcissa turned to Snape not exclusively out of desperation, and maybe Snape made the Unbreakable Vow not exclusively to save face in front of Bellatrix, but rather because Snape is really Draco’s dad? Two problems. 1) Hard to believe that Draco would bear such a stark resemblance to Lucius under those circumstances - but hey, it’s magic, right? 2) I don’t know if you can get away with adultery in children’s literature. Wholesome violence is fine, but sex?

Alternate hypothesis: Perhaps Dumbledore was so confident of Snape not because of his deep understanding of human motivation, but simply because he had one of those Unbreakable Vows from Snape. And maybe Snape simply broke the vow. Ron said that people who break them die, but that’s not saying much; doesn’t everyone die eventually (Voldemort aside)? Or Dumbledore relinquished the Vow? Can he even do that?

(To be sure, this Unbreakable Vow creates something of a plot problem. Everybody but Dumbledore suspected Snape of harboring loyalty to Voldemort; why didn’t they simply demand that Snape make an Unbreakable Vow of loyalty to the Order of the Phoenix as proof that he had reformed? Or maybe Unbreakable Vows are a type of dark magic that good guys aren’t supposed to do?)

I’m betting against these theories. But you guys are keeping me thinking….

I think that RAB stands for a code or an oath that Snape has used with LV that is known only between the two of them. Snape being LV’s most trusted, and the closest to LV per Narcissa, is why Narcissa went to Snape instead of another DE to beg for Draco’s life and have Snape try to pursuade LV to reconsider. Snape is closer to him and is his second in command. RAB is Snapes idenity when he sends messages to Voldemort.

I think that the switch of the lockets were made not in the cave but when Snape blasted Dumbledores body away from the DE on the tower. He had to get DD’s body out of there and I believe that DD let Snape know that he had the horcrux on him and to get it before the DE found it.

The RAB note is letting Voldemort know that he knows all about the horcruxes (which I believe Snape does and will somehow help Harry find them) even though Voldemort thinks he is the only one who knows. The RAB note is left for revenge. Getting back at LV for doing something to RAB that he would want revenge for.

I believe DD when he told Harry that he had no idea that LV would choose James, Lily and Harry to go after to kill. I think the reason that LV targeted James and Harry is because James was a direct link to Slytherin. Even though DD tells us that LV is the last heir of Slytherin he is correct because LV made it so. He targeted James and Harry to wipe out any other heirs to make himself the last remaining one. To get the glory and be the “Lord” so no one else could be a direct link. That is why he told Lily to step aside. He didn’t need to kill her, she was no threat, but he needed to kill the males so he could carry on the Slytherin line.

Snape loved Lily and he owed James for saving his life. He never wanted Harry dead but had no idea that LV would mark the prophecy using the Potters. That is why Neville was never chosen. He was not a direct link to Slytherin.

So Snape has a motive for revenge against LV. I don’t see a motive for Regulus Black to want to have revenge on LV. What did LV do to Regulus that he would want revenge? I think that LV’s idea of having the pure bloods attending Hogwarts and having pure-bloods in the wizarding world appealed to most of the Royal Blood Families. However they had no idea that the way LV wanted to make things pure was by actually killing people off. That is why alot of pure-blood families didn’t want to have anything to do with LV after they saw what he was willing to do to get a pure race.

That’s why Regulus backed out and tried to make a run for it. However you don’t just decide not to be a DE and leave, so they hunted him down and killed him.

Snape has to be RAB. Somehow the last horcrux LV will think he has left will be the locket horcrux. In the end Harry will show it to LV and LV will read the note and realize that he was betrayed by RAB- Snape his most trusted, most loyal and that is when Harry will kill him.

RAB is an acronym that stands for something. Something like Royal, Alliance, Blood - Blood, Alliance, Reigns or something like that.

What do you think?
