Amber questioned:
"Now why would the goblins in Gringotts allow someone besides the
owner of the money to access their money? Sure, Sirius probably sent
his key to his vault, but wouldn't someone question why Harry Potter
would have the key? Wouldn't someone at Gringotts make the connection
that it was actually Sirius who sent the order? I mean, considering
the security that Gringotts is supposed to have, it seems rather odd
that nobody would find any of this strange or halt the payment."
--Well we've postulated on this before, and I could give you message
numbers, but that is such a pain, so I'll just give you my thoughts...
The Goblins obviously don't care about the goings-on of wizarding
society. (It does state this somewhere in FB right?) They've been
likened to Swiss banks. A criminal can withdraw money and no one's
going to question it. The goblin's are very apathetic so if they did
notice they didn't care. (That is how the theory goes...I think.)
Now that we're are talking about Goblins- I was flipping through QttA
today and found yet another example of rebellion.
>From "Bring Back Our Baskets!" The Daily Prophet, 12 Feb 1883
"...At this point the Departmental representative was forced to
retreat under a hail of baskets thrown bt the angry demonstrators
assemlbed in the hall. Although the ensuing riot was later blamed on
goblin agitators there can be no doubt that the Quidditch fans across
Britain are tonight mourning the end of the game as we know it."
So why do Goblins seem to have the constant urge to egg on riots? I
mean why would they even care about Quidditch? Besides the fact that
they are betting.
This brings us back to Amanda's theories that underpaid goblins would
bring about V.'s downfall.
Hmmm...
