My dream- a chance for NEW CANON!

Erin:
Aw, jeez, Annemehr, would you really?  I tried to purposely leave it 
vague both so we'd have a chance of her answering it and so as not to 
spoil the fun.  You, know, "will we see Mark Evans in the next book" 
as opposed to "is Mark a relative of Lily's" or "will Mark, who was 
ten, be starting at Hogwarts next year?"

Personally, I'm about sick of the Mark Evans questions, and would 
like to prevent his becoming a Florence (having grand, elaborate 
theories spun around him only to have him _not_even_show_up_.) I'd 
much prefer he be a Mrs. Figg (we know he's gonna be there so at 
least we have a tiny basis for speculation). Florence was such a 
letdown, if we at least knew Mark *would* be there I could take 
another year and a half of theories on him, and even join in happily.

The real reason I don't like Mark, I guess, is because he always 
seems to lead back to those crazy "Petunia is a squib" theories.  
Those drive me nuts!  No basis in canon AT ALL.

Hmmm, maybe that should be a question; "any chance Petunia was a 
squib or Mr. and Mrs. Evans, Harry's grandparents, were squibs?"

Erin:  
That's not too strange, you just prefer to rely on Faith, which I 
understand.  

To the first question, I would say no.  We've dreamed up such wild 
theories here that there's no way she could possibly address them 
all.  One that leaps immediately to mind is "were Sirius and Lupin 
lovers?"  Unless it turns out that Lupin has been married all this 
time, I doubt that one will ever be addressed.  And even if he was, 
it could still be argued.... It needs a definite yes or no that we 
will never get.

To the second question, I'd say, feel free to ask, but don't expect 
her to answer...

But don't be disappointed if one of the 12 British schoolchildren 
beats you to it, either.  This is one of those big questions that I 
was trying to avoid putting on the list because we'll find it out 
anyway in the long run.  (I briefly comptemplated putting "I'm a 
little girl with big brown eyes, what's the title of book six, 
please?" as a question, but rejected it for the same reasons)

I'm not listing the list each time, but I do have it saved on my 
computer and am adding Annemehr's new questions.
