[HPforGrownups] Re: Resisting The Imperious Curse

No: HPFGUIDX 27928

what i amd wondering in concern to the whole ordeal is
not only why you young Mr. Crouch gave the practice to
Harry but also why is it that he didn't let
he-who-must-not-be-named know of the threat? I mean if
harry can send owls to communicate with Sirius (i.e.
someone who has every Dementor in Azkaban just itching
to give him a nice wet one) then why cant our dear old
teacher go up to the school owlery after hours and
send a letter off to the dark lord to let him know of
an unusual resistance that Potter has to the imperius
curse and that he had to truly fight potter's mind not
once but four or five times. well.. you kno let him
know that his will was not weakening but infact
getting stronger the more you backed him into a
corner? Ah well... Any justified thoughts as to who it
is talking in the back of harry's mind (I mean other
than the odvious James or Lily Potter) I am thinking
Dumbledore's Pheonix. But that is just my hunch I mean
not only is the feather from his tale in his wand but
i mean he has shown some genuine affection for harry
and has shared his tears with him... it is possible
no?

yours in lunacy
