Yes. I mean Voldemort. I type the wrong thing often.

What would that look like to the other Death Eaters? He's got a cover to keep you know.

Possible Horcrux:
the sorting hat. It belonged to Gryffindor. In one of the songs it says this. That was why Voldemort came back to the school. I will point out it is never mentioned that he killed someone while there but he could have stolen and returned it. (I really don't like the idea of Harry being one.) This is also a mistake in the book because Dumbledore says the only artifact of Gryffindor's is the sword.
Also I agree that the locket is in 12 gimmauld place probably something Kreacher stole since there has never been a reason in the plot for him stealing the stuff.

A meeting of the marauders like they all show up. Two in flesh, 2 in spirit. I dunno. I just wanna see Harry interact with them all at once.

Because he's not on the good side.

Life couldn't me more perfect, eh? *sighs very Luna Lovegood-ishly*

Wow, I never thought of the Harry horcrux thing. Good idea, but unlikly. Rowling would be getting a lot of hate mail. lol

What do you mean by "a meeting of the maurauders?"

quote:

Any theories on Sirius, while we're on the subject of Maurauders? I just don't think he's really dead. I'm in denial though. . .

I'm moving towards acceptance.

Right now, here's what I'm thinking:
1. Harry is a descendent of Gryffindor.
2. There may be a meeting of the marauders if HP visits his parents grave.
3. Lupin and Tonks. Lupin and Tonks. Lupin and Tonks. *screams with delight*
4. My friends thought: HP is a horcrux because some of V transferred into him. He thinks that HP will have to kill V, then himself.

You mean Voldemort? Good point. Scratch that theory.

I was thinking about all the ships that finally happened in this book. In my opinion, Rowling's just setting up for something bad to happen to one of the characters. For example, the Ron/Hermione thing's finally setting up. Its obvious one of them is goIng to get hurt. And Bill and Fleur. But Bill's already been injured, so nevermind that. I think Lupin will die. I don't know why. It just seems likely, but maybe Rowling won't kill off the last good Maurauder. (sp?)

Why would Dumbledore tell Malfoy to kill Dumbledore then?

True, but why would Voldemort make Dumbledore a Horcrux? Unless it was because he was one of the most powerful wizards alive. Ah, well, you never know. . .

Whenever I start getting sad over Dumbledore again I think Tonks and Remus! But then Dumbledore creeps back in and I have to think Tonks and Remus! Its all very confusing. . .

kata, an interesting theory. I don't know if I believe it, but it deserves commending. It's an interesting thought.

My friend's theory:

The whole Snape-kills-Dumbledore thing was all planned out earlier, and when Dumbledore said "Please, Severus," he was begging Snape to kill him. This is because Dumbledore was a Horcrux, although she has no idea how he became one. Anyway, I thought it was interesting.

Also, it seemed to lack a flowing feel to it. i remember reading and wondering how they were talking in Hogwarts and were suddenly at the Burrow. I'll write more later maybe but i'm busy now.

I'd have to agree that it was sometimes disconnected, but I think that because people were upset about too much transition in the OotP, they editted out the stuff that wasn't important.

I was so happy with all the ships that sailed, as they say. I predicted them right.

Very good theories. I never thought of it being hidden in the house. Wierd. . .

Well, you know, in OotP, when the gang are cleaning out one of the rooms, there is "a heavy locket none of them could open"...just a thought.

Brehon I definitely agree. Snape just had to. Dumbledore already worked it out with Snape that he'd kill him. That's what Snape and Dumbledore had an argument about. Dumbledore was reprimanding Snape for making the vow.

I've always thought Tonks/Charlie or Tonks/Lupin. I'd never entirely made up my mind, so I was reasonably happy. The only problem is, as Lupin says, the age difference. Tonks is Lupin's best friend's cousin-once-removed! A little gross there. She's about 25 and Lupin is 37.

I've always thought Harry/Ginny and I've always thought Ron/Hermione, but Neville/Luna? I've always thought Neville/nobody known to us, and Luna/Colin Creevey would work better.

Can anyone remember Bellatrixes first name, I can only remember Bellatrix. (Another possible theory for the amulet thief?) Traitorous thoughts? Not realistic.

Bellatrix is her first name. But Black is her maiden name. Her married name is Lestrange.

I loved it! I cried for awhile over Dumbledore...especially when it said Harry looked at the greatest wizard he had ever known...*tear*
As for all the relationships...I was greatly pleased...I always knew Ginny and Harry would get together...none of my friends would believe me though.
Brehon, I think Bellatrix is her first name...isn't it Bellatrix Lestrange? I may be wrong though...
Seeing as I haven't gotten to read it for the second time yet...I haven't come up with any theories of my own...hopefully I'll be able to get started on it tomorrow. I really hope they go back to school though...I can't imagine a book without all the Quidditch and all that...but it would be hard to deal without Dumbledore...Hogwarts will never be the same...

Alos I don't think that Snape intended to kill Dumbledore but it was an outcome of the Unbreakable Vow. You know, such a lot of stress was put on that in the first part of the book that it must have been important at the end.

Also, surely Harry is not good enough to kill lots of Death Eaters? I kow he has Hermione and Ron, but they won't help him hack through 40 or so Death Eaters. There will need to be build up, training, learning some magic to counteract Voldermort, (something to do with love that Dumbledore keeps going on about).
