| 1) Who is R.A.B.? What do you imagine his past to be like? |
| Sirius' dead brother, Regulus Arcturus Black. |
| 2) In your opinion, how did R.A.B. know about the Horcruxes? And why did he replace and steal one? |
| Well, Voldemort said in 'Goblet of Fire' that the death eaters knew about his efforts to defeat death so I guess he might have said something that captured R.A.B.'s attention and later on helped him to conclude that Voldemort was dealing with horcruxes. The Black family is a very old one obviously related with the use of Dark Magic (their house is a proof of this), we know from Sirius that his parents were strong supporters of the Dark Lord until they realized his true evil nature. My guess is that there must be something in the history of the Black family, maybe an ancient forbidden book that used to pass from generation to generation, where they were able to find information about horcruxes. R.A.B. = Regulus (and maybe his parents) might have been very proud of the purity of their blood but that does not mean they were evil persons. Probably Regulus understood that it will be dangerous for the whole wizarding world if Voldemort did obtain immortality. Immortality would make him unstoppable and a very cruel non-human thing that will show no mercy at all. We know also that to deal with horcruxes is such a terrible thing that Hermione was not able to find information about this nowhere, not even in the Restricted Section of Hogwarts' library. I think that Regulus saw the upcoming disaster for the wizarding community in the hands of a mad & immortal Voldemort and did what he could to help to prevent it. |
| 3) What are the remaining Horcruxes? Where are they? How will they be destroyed? |
| Remaining horcruxes: I'm with Dumbledore in this, I believe what he said: something from... from Ravenclaw? Oh well, I forgot the list! (Mental note to check this all over again) Have only one doubt regarding Dumbledore's words and that is Nagini, DD said Nagini was an horcrux and I have this feeling that it may turn to be a mistake. Where are they?: There is one in the Room of Requirements, I am talking about the tiara Harry saw there... but please do not ask me of which Founder it is. Nagini (if it is an horcrux indeed) is wherever may be Voldemort and the rest are... well... hidden! LOL! How will they be destroyed?: How can I know this? I am a Muggle! |
| 9) What has become of Eileen and Tobias? |
| IF the similarity I found between Merope and Eileen is true, Tobias must be dead. I just hope Snape did not kill him. No way, no way, I don't want Snape to be like Voldemort! Next... |
| 11) When, how and why did Severus become a Death Eater? |
| Oh, I can't remember the timeline for this, I guess Severus became a death eater after his graduation from Hogwarts, but that's all I can say. |
| 14) When, how and why did Severus go over to Dumbledore’s side? If, in your opinion, he never did it, why? Which role did he play during Voldemort’s absence? |
| Again, I have to trust Dumbledore on this one, he said Snape returned to the good side before Voldemort's downfall. Of course, Snape told Bellatrix in 'HBP' that he did so following Voldemort's orders but I prefer not to believe him. Snape did the same as Dumbledore during the Dark Lord's absence, continue living and waiting for the time when Voldemort would make his comeback. As Hagrid said, all of them knew Voldemort was not finished, it was a matter of time for him to return. |
| 16) Why did Severus (in HP1) spit at the end of the Quidditch match he refereed? |
| Did he do that? Can't remember that part. |
| 17) What is the bond between Lucius Malfoy and Severus? |
| Apparently, they are friends, that's what Narcissa said in the sixth book. |
| 18) Will Lucius Malfoy escape from Azkaban? If you think so, how do you think he’ll behave? Which side will he choose? |
| Oooh I have such a rambling about this! I have the theory that Lucius is going to be very angry with Voldemort for using his only son Draco as a way to punish him. Voldemort knew that it was very unlikely Draco would accomplish the mission without risking or even losing his life and this would make Lucius to open his eyes. Malfoy Senior would understand that for Voldemort all of them are of no importance at all and he would choose to be against the Dark Lord in order to protect his own family. |
| 20) What is the bond between Draco and Severus? |
| After the events on the Astronomy Tower, I guess they would find themselves stucked together for one reason or another. |
| 21) What was the bond between Lily and Severus? |
| From what we know, Lily tried to protect Severus from the Marauders and he rejected her help. We know too that both Lily and Severus were good at Potions, I think there's a possibility that they were friends but do not support the idea of a young Severus in love with Lily. |
| 22) What shape does Severus’ patronus take? |
| I believe that his patronus' shape tells clearly where Severus' loyalties are, so all depend whether he is evil or not. Have not a single clue but just for fun I'll put my bets on a spider, a fox or a black raven. |
| 23) How does Severus’ boggart look like? |
| His worst fear might be to fail, to be publicly discovered as a non-worthy wizard and/or rejected as a failure. His boggart may take the form of people making fun of him. |
| 25) After Dumbledore’s death and Draco/Severus’ escape, how do you think their relationship will continue? |
| As I said before, they would be stucked together whether they like it or not. |
| 26) How will Voldemort react to the news that Dumbledore didn’t die by Draco’s hand? Will he punish Draco and/or Severus? |
| Voldemort is so cruel and despot that surely would use those news as an excuse to cause pain and fear in their servants. I do not doubt Draco will be punished and maybe Narcissa too if she tries to protect her son. Severus is a different matter, I guess all depend whether Voldemort know or not about the Unbreakable Vow. |
| 28) Even supposing, for the sake of argument, that Severus is good, how do you think he will help Harry and the Order in the seventh book? |
| If he is good, he would manage to help Harry and the Order in some way or another. He may continue to pass important information to the Order or be there for Harry when his last fight with Voldemort takes place. |
| 29) Who’s going to die and how, in the last book? |
| Hagrid, protecting someone in front of Harry or maybe protecting Harry himself. If Hagrid survives, then it would be Gwarp who will end dead for a similar reason: trying to protect Hagrid or even Hermy (as he calls Hermione). Voldemort, of course!! After all his horcruxes are destroyed, the last remaining piece of his soul would be sent to the other side of the Veil using the 'power he does not know'... (re: prophecy). |
| 30) What did Dumbledore see while drinking the potion in the cave? |
| I think DD saw his worst fears come true, innocent people suffering and he unable to help them. |
| 31) Is there a mystery in Dumbledore’s life? |
| Sure! At least, there's the story of how he destroyed the ring. He told Harry that was quite an adventure and he promised to tell him about it. |
| 33) When did Dumbledore become Headmaster? In 1956 (according to HP6) or in 1970 (HP3)? |
| I do not know. |
| 35) Is Aberforth Dumbledore hiding something? Will he have a role in the next book? |
| Yes and yes. |
| 37) Will Hogwarts reopen the school year following Dumbledore’s death? |
| Yes. |
| 40) If Hogwarts will open again, who will teach DADA and what will force him/her to leave the teaching post? |
| Tonks!! Her marriage with Lupin, at the end of the war Lupin might be hired again for that same post (DADA) and Tonks would decide to stay home and be a housewife. I want them to have furry little kids with pink and violet hair. |
| 41) Why did Dumbledore give DADA’s teaching post to Snape if he was aware of the curse? |
| I believe that, as a part of his plans, Dumbledore knew it was imperative to put Snape definitely within Voldemort's side, at least in appearance, so he could be able to gather more important information or even be there for Harry if the situation might arise. I think Dumbledore used the curse effects on behalf of his own plans. |
| 43) Voldemort is the Slytherin’s heir. Is there also a Gryffindor heir? Who is he/she? |
| Dumbledore is the most likely to be Gryffindor's heir. |
| 44) The importance of Peter Pettigrew's life debt towards Harry has always been underlined. Will it be important in the last book? |
| I think so. |
| 46) What has become of Sirius? What is the Veil behind which he has fallen? |
| Sirius is behind the Veil and, apparently, this Veil is some sort of entrance to the other side. If it might be used as an exit is uncertain, Rowling said no one can return from the death. Thinking of it, I am not sure if Rowling has said Sirius is definitely dead just as she did with Dumbledore. Could it be possible that Sirius make a comeback? |
| 48) What is Hermione writing to Krum? Do you believe it could be important in the last book? |
| Just friendly letters, they're maintaining their friendship through those letters and I think bonds of friendship will play an important role against Voldemort. |
| 51) What role will Grawp, Hagrid’s giant brother, have in the last book? |
| As I said before, Grawp may die for saving Hagrid's life. Or if the one who dies is Hagrid, Grawp would take his place at Hogwarts as the new Keeper of the Grounds, etc. (I forgot Hagrid's job name) |
| 52) What will happen to Bill after the werewolf bites? Will he acquire some powers? Will he show typical werewolvish instincts or behaviours (even dangerous for the people around him)? |
| Bill will show werewolvish characteristics but he won't be a danger for the people he cares. His enemies are another matter. LOL! |
| 54) Will Molly Weasley’s nightmare become reality, about the possible death of some members of her family? |
| Sadly but true, it sounds unlikely that all of her family members would make it safe in such terrible and dangerous times. |
| 55) What did Dudley see when he was attacked by the Dementor? |
| No idea. Himself as an orphan? Himself stucked in Harry's cupboard receiving mistreatments instead of Harry? |
| 56) Who’s going to develop magic powers "late in life" (JKR excluded Petunia)? |
| Filch! Or Miss Figgs? |
| 57) Will Tonks and Lupin’s relationship develop any further? Will they marry? |
| I hope so! |
| 59) Will Hermione and Ron’s relationship continue? What about Ginny and Harry? |
| Yes and yes! |
| 61) Will Lockhart remain at St Mungos forever? |
| Yes, that one is finished. |
| 62) Will Muggles play an active role in the last book? |
| Muggles? Hmm... maybe another appearance of the Prime Minister, I suppose. |
| 63) How will the final battle be? Who’s going to die between Harry and Voldemort? Which spells will be used? |
| Go Harry, go!! I bet on Harry, that's all I know. |
| 64) If Voldemort would lose, what will become of the Death Eaters? |
| They'll end in Azkaban or dead and their Dark Marks gone forever. |
| 65) If you have more theories that you like to tell, please do it here: |
| What??!! Something else??? I am exhausted! Hey, now that I think of it, I thought once a theory regarding Caradoc Dearborn, a missing member of the first Order of the Phoenix, I thought it might have been Snape's faked identity in that time. Ooh, and the 'put a stopper to death' theory, I believe that Snape did not kill Dumbledore but 'uncorched' the stopper and the dark magic controlled in Dumbledore's injured hand got released. That was what killed DD, not Snape. I've done loads of ramblings but now I can't think of anything else. |
