Well i've always thought, since HBP came out, that Dumbledore and Snape might have had some kind of agreement....I just can't see Snape murdering Dumbledore like that after everything Dumby did for him...i don't know...


Posted by AnyaMarcos Mar 2nd 2007

Susan, Dumbledore's been wrong before. Actually, Draco's b-day is 6/5, so maybe not. But still, it might be someone other than Neville or Harry. That would be just JKR's style.


Posted by Susan_Bones Mar 2nd 2007

Nikki, have you read mugglenet's book? the snape chapters reeaally good. (they say why he's good)


Posted by sticky Mar 2nd 2007

yeah but only harry can kill voldemort now. Cos when voldy tried to kill him thinking he was the only child born in july he marked harry as his equal.......so now only harry can finish him off.....


Posted by i_loverz_HP Mar 2nd 2007

draco_loves_me-yeah i know hes so awesome like seriously and hes realllly hott i think lol. yeah that could be it or what if like dumby knew snape was gonna do the unforgivable curse (ginny good idea are chat on AIM) lol yeah that was sad when he was crying and then him and harry were shooting off spells that was sad and funny at the same time.........what was draco going into that one unforseen room for???? yeah it could be draco do u have to be pureblood to be the child?????


Posted by draco_loves_me Mar 2nd 2007

most people seem to either love or hate draco. i understand that hes mean and evrything, but i have a feeling that he'll join the good side... he was about to lower his wand when the death eatrs came bursting in...


Posted by Susan_Bones Mar 2nd 2007

anyamarcos, yeah, i know that dumbledore makes mistakes but didnt JkR say that his guesses aren't usually far fromt the truth?


Posted by sticky Mar 2nd 2007

but if draco does join the good side....then voldmort might try and kill him..i mean look at sirius's bro was a death eater and tried to turn away...deaded....look at igor Karkroff, .......deaded and he too was a deatheater...thesame could happento draco if he tries to turn away....though he was gonna lower his wand.........


Posted by Susan_Bones Mar 2nd 2007

I think Draco has a good chance of dying...he got in to far.


Posted by Nikki_85 Mar 2nd 2007

yeah i don't think Draco is wholly evil...i think he joined the Death Eaters because he wasw under pressure from his family....i still don't like him much tho! Susan, i haven't read mugglenets book yet.....perhaps i should! AnyaMarcos, who do you think it could be other than Harry or Neville? I can't think of anyone off the top of my head.


Posted by sticky Mar 2nd 2007

why does no one listen to harry in the books...there harry was telling everyone that draco was a deatheater and in legue with voldy but noooooo. no one listens to harry.... poor 'arry.


Posted by i_loverz_HP Mar 2nd 2007

yeah i know draco has some good in him thats a fact.........hes just jealous of harry potter because HP is so much more famous....maybe since draco wasn't getting all the attention he decided to be a death eater so voldy would pay attention to him he thought he would do something famous....idk....


Posted by Susan_Bones Mar 2nd 2007

sticky- ya, that frustrated me so much the first time i read hbp! cuz when they saw him in that shop, I'm like "HES SHOWING HIM HIS DARK MARK!!" and then when harry finally relized it, no one believed him!


Posted by sticky Mar 2nd 2007

People....just to remind u noone else apart from HARRY can kill voldy now. Voldy marked him as his equal quote from the book~: 'dumby- you are forgetting hte next part of the phrophecy, the final identifying feature of the boy who could vanquish voldemort,.... voldemort himself would MARK HIM AS HID EQUAL and so he did harry. He chose you not neville....' OOTP PG 742. only harry can kill him now.


Posted by i_loverz_HP Mar 2nd 2007

people listen to hermonie cuz shes the smart one but then when harry has something to say nope everybody doesnt listen.........doesnt that make u mad in OOTP when everybody's talking ish about harry and like laughing at him at stuff because they think hes mad thats so sad and mean.....


Posted by Susan_Bones Mar 2nd 2007

good point sticky!


Posted by i_loverz_HP Mar 2nd 2007

good one sticky good one :]] well that proves that point doesnt it lol......


Posted by sticky Mar 2nd 2007

yeah...do u know what rweally outraged me ? in thOOTP when hermione says harry has a 'saving thing' I thought bless harry......he doesn't like he says..trouble usually finds him


Posted by draco_loves_me Mar 2nd 2007

once again i agree with i_loverz_hp


Posted by Nikki_85 Mar 2nd 2007

lol, trouble does usually find Harry! Whats wrong with him having a "saving people thing"? At least he cares, anyway, its usually the people he cares for he's trying to save!


Posted by sticky Mar 2nd 2007

Nikki.. i have no idea how u made sense of the last line on my last post lol!!!!! i just started typing random words!!!! aaaahhhhhh im going crazy.... 'he doesn't like he says' i mean what was i blabbering on about!!!!????? =)


Posted by i_loverz_HP Mar 2nd 2007

I KNOW hes so nice and on the 2nd challenge in GOF when he saves fleurs lil sister...... hes always in the wrong place at the wrong time.........after prefects bathroom, dropped the egg mad-eye had to be right there well fake mad-eye anyways lol.


Posted by Susan_Bones Mar 2nd 2007

I can't remember where I heard this but someone pointed out how good harry is at deffending other ppl- like how powerful his spells are. Like in HBP when the death eaters were invading and he was casting spells defending everyone and the death eaters were slamming into walls lol


Posted by i_loverz_HP Mar 2nd 2007

yahh he learns really fast and he knows what hes doing wow he is smart.........


Posted by sticky Mar 2nd 2007

come on..hes a caring person!!!!!! thats why we lluurrrvvv him sssooo much. i means hes only saved: ginny form the chamber of secrets but could u hardly imagine mcgonagall going down to the cos and running from a baskilisk, saved the ps...but other wise voldy would be bk, saved siruis's soul from parting from his body AND hermione helped, fleurs sister, tried to save sirius AGAIN. and helped dumby after he drank that water stuff.....i mean all of those he had to do something or he was helping someone he csaes for....


Posted by Nikki_85 Mar 2nd 2007

yeah, thats why i reckon he'll be able to take on Voldy and his Death Eaters no problem! LOL


Posted by Susan_Bones Mar 2nd 2007

sticky, you forgot one: he saved sirius and lupin from getting their souls split ;-)


Posted by sticky Mar 2nd 2007

Posted by sticky Mar 2nd 2007

i think i know someone else who would join the ut a friend of mine...yeah we should really get a website going...maybe one of us should ask emerson how to do it.....he did it when he was twelve


Posted by Nikki_85 Mar 2nd 2007

hey guys, just realised....we're getting very off subject again! Don't want to get into any more rows, lol! But seriously, we should work out how to set up a UT site thing, so we don't have to flood the message boards and annoy the hell outta everyone who has no idea what we're going on about!


Posted by Susan_Bones Mar 2nd 2007

I agree that we should ask Emerson, but it could take a while to get an answer...
