Slytherins

[Sister Mary Lunatic]

No: HPFGUIDX 2064


What's amazing is that neither Harry nor Hermione has ever shown any
indication of investigating James and Lily's school or life history.  I know
Harry has had curiosity drummed out of him by the Dursleys, but you'd think
that four years in a nurturing environment like Hogwarts would lead to a
LITTLE curiosity about his parents' lives.  Hermione would be more the type
to do the research, but you'd think she'd pass on any startling news (such
as one or both of his parents being Slytherins) to him by now.  We do know
that Harry has never discussed his near-assignment to Slytherin House by the
Sorting Hat with anyone but Dumbledore.

Such a lack of curiosity almost defies belief.  We know he spends time
looking at the photo album that Hagrid assembled for him.  Why wouldn't he
want to read the details of what happened the night his mortal enemy,
Voldemort, killed his parents?

Could JKR really be sitting on some bombshell and expect us to take the news
without questioning why it was withheld for so many years?  I dunno.....

Good point, Peg.  This also, IMHO, adds to my argument that the
Marauders were Slytherins.
