HBP: theories

• If you rearrange the letters in “Severus Snape” you get “Pursues Evans.” Since Lily’s last name is Evans then maybe they were both Death Eaters together? Perhaps Severus loved her? NOT TRUE (See JK Rowling site if you don’t know why.)
• Now that (above) could be true, And we don’t really know how Harry’s parents thrice foiled Voldemort. Lily may of been an undercover death eater, and James also may of been. NOT TRUE (See JK Rowling site if you don’t know why.)
• Lucius Malfoy and his fellow Death Eaters escape from Azkaban.
• Voldemort recruits Draco Malfoy and his cronies in an attempt to dispose of Harry.
• Harry may try and go “Beyond the Veil” so save Sirius. In Greek mythology the gates to the “nether world” are guarded by a three headed dog. Harry knows Sirius is in the veil and he may go and try to rescue him perhaps guided by his parents.
• This is a funny theory, Mrs.Weasley will become the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher (To Ron’s Horror)
• Mr. Weasley will become the Minister of Magic (under the influence of Dumbledore) and apparently the only thing holding Mr.Weasley back was his fondness for muggles which Fudge frowned upon…In Book 5, Chapter 29: ‘Career Advice’, Ron tells Harry: “We have as much chances of winning the Quiddich Cup as my Dad of becoming Ministry of Magic” And Voila, they won the cup! I read somewhere that J.K said in an Interview that there is a key plot in this chapter and I think that is it.
• Harry and Voldemort can’t duel because Fawkes’s tail feather is in both wands causing the reverse spell effect. So Harry isn’t going to be able to use his wand against Voldemort’s wand; the power to kill him is going to have to come from somewhere else. Where or what it is, I don’t know, but it can’t be wand magic.
Harry will buy a new wand for everyday use (what would happen if he broke his original that has the same core as Voldemorts, it would be very hard for Harry to fight without that connection) if Harry doesn’t buy a new wand he better be darn careful with his original!
• We’ve all heard that Dumbledore knows pretty much everything that goes on at Hogwarts. He also didn’t care if he lost all his acclaim except taking his face off the chocolate frog cards. Perhaps Dumbledore is using the chocolate frog cards of himself in the same way that the portraits of old headmasters spy on others. After all, look at all the times Harry and Ron have gotten chocolate frog cards with his picture on them.
When Dumbledore is having his talk with Harry at the end of The Order of the Phoenix, he mentions that members of the “Order” have a way of communicating which is much more reliable than the Floo Network. In the third or fourth chapter of the book Bill Weasley states that Dumbledore doesn’t care what they do to him as long as they don’t take him off of the Chocolate Frog Cards. As we know that pictures can talk in the Wizarding World, could it be possible that members of the Order of the Phoenix communicate with each other via Dumbledore’s portrait on the Chocolate Frog Cards? We know that Dumbledore’s card is common because Harry received 2 of them within the space of a few months after just a few frogs. Could each of the members of the “Order” have a “Dumbledore Card” which Dumbledore alone can activate using a Protean Charm which was also introduced in book 5?
• Is it conceivable that they could even be used to contact Sirius if he had had one when he went through the veil?
• James Potter inherited his invisibility cloak, from his grandfather who we will learn more about in Book 6. It could be that James, and now Harry, are the Heirs of Godric Gryffindor and Godric was the first owner of the cloak. The sorting hat did give Harry the sword in the Chamber of Secrets.
• Harry will find a new place that is safe because of ancient magic – Godric’s Hollow. Because his mother’s blood was shed there, it is a safe haven for Harry. It is not a safe haven for others. Also, one of “Dumbledore’s Army” may perish there.
• Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson will date. Why not I’m asking.
• Percy will become a Death Eater. There are some rumours that he will die though. Cus he will want to redeem. And at least Mrs. Weasley saw him dead in OotF. But we will see.
• There is much speculation that we haven’t heard the last of Professor Trelawny’s prophecies. It is likely that she will make another before the series concludes, so why not book six?
• Sir Patrick Delaney Podmore (the head of the Headless Hunt) could be related to Sturgis Podmore from the Order of the Phoenix.
• Dudley beat up a ten-year old named Mark Evans, who, coincidentally, shares a last name with Harry’s mother. I dont think he will be Harry’s lost brother because he’s 10 (meaning Lily didnt die “that” night – which is impossible due to her protection on Harry). However, maybe Lily and Petunia had a brother?
• From what was said in book five, it would be logical to assume that Harry is Sirius’s heir. So not only will Harry inherit Sirius’s fortune and properties, but he will be the owner of 12 Grimmauld Place, and Kreacher’s master. Harry is therefore going to have to control his feelings regarding the betrayal of Sirius (from Kreacher), and will have more responsibilities.
• On page 861 of the American version of OoTP, Nearly-Headless Nick tells Harry, “I know nothing of the secrets of death… I believe learned wizards study the matter in the Department of Mysteries.” I’m assuming that Nick is referring directly or indirectly to the veil that Sirius fell through. It’s entirely reasonable for the veil to be a connection, gateway, portal, whatever, to another plane: the plane where people go when they die. The veil is possibly an experiment by such ‘learned wizards’ trying to contact the dead or make a connection to this other plane. In this case, as Sirius didn’t die from Bellatrix’s spell, but merely from crossing the one-way gateway into this other plane, then the whispering voices that Harry hears are the voices of the dead, and this leaves the ‘veil’ open for later contact with Sirius – assuming that if one gets close enough, he or she can actually talk with the dead.
• In the first book, Hagrid told Harry he didn’t think Voldemort had enough human left in him to die. In the fourth book, Voldemort needed human blood to bring him back to life. At the end of book 4, after Harry explained what Wormtail and Voldemort did to him, Dumbledore had a ‘look of triumph’ in his eyes, could this possibly be because Voldemort was human-enough to die?
• On page 835 of the American verision of the OotP, Dumbledore said he protected Harry with old magic that Voldemort hated and underestimated, or in other words, Lily’s lingering protection that flows in Harry’s blood. Later on in the conversation, Dumbledore said the locked door in the Department of Mysteries has a force that is “more wonderful and more terrible than death.” He also said that Harry has such quantities of that power and Voldemort has none. Voldemort couldn’t possess Harry because “he could not bear to reside in a body so full of the force he detests.” Dumbledore told Harry that he didn’t need Occlumency after all because his heart had saved him. So could all of this mean that Lily’s lingering protection was love? Could this type of strong love be the power in the locked room that Harry has and Voldemort doesn’t? Plus, maybe Voldemort couldn’t possess Harry because Harry’s body was full of his mother’s love. Voldemort couldn’t stand to be in a body filled with motherly love. Voldemort never knew what a mother’s love for her child is because his mother died when he was born. And he certainly didn’t get any love from his father, who dumped him in an orphanage.
• Could Harry be a metamorphmagus? In SS/PS JKR writes that Harry had grown back his hair over night after his Aunt Petunia had given him an awful haircut. You obviously have to concentrate on changing your appearance if you are a metamorphmagus, and Harry was concentrating very hard on his hair because he was worried about the way it looked.
• Lucius Malfoy was a guest at the Quidditch World Cup, and he was credited for making a significant contribution to St. Mungo’s. In Order of the Phoenix, we are continually reminded of how Lucius buys people, such as the Minister of Magic. Also, someone made the poor guy snuff it in the same ward as the Longbottoms. Could it be that Lucius Malfoy is seeing to it that Neville’s parent’s conditions won’t improve? I believe so, and I also believe that there is more to those gum wrappers than we know as well.
