I have lurked and posted for a while now, and I have enjoyed the 
clever theories and spirited debates.  As for the mysteries we 
debate, however, it is hard to figure out how many people believe 
certain theories as opposed to others.  So I thought I would just 
ask.  

Here are 10 mysteries/questions about the HP series.  They concern (I 
hope) canon as opposed to pure speculation about future books.  If 
you care to share your opinion about some or all of them and which 
arguments you find persuasive, reply and tell us all what you have 
finally decided to believe.

1.  Is Snape a vampire, half-vampire, or just a wizard?
2.  Among Snape, Bagman, Karkarov and Fudge, who are Death Eaters, 
and which DE is too cowardly to return and which DE has left forever?
3.  In PoA, was Lupin simply sleeping on the train, or did Dumbledore 
ask him to take the train to protect Harry?
4.  How many students are at Hogwarts?
5.  Does Snape really want the DADA job?
6.  Does Trelawney have any predictive powers aside from the two 
correct predictions Dumbledore acknowledges?
7.  In GoF, why is Wormtail performing magic with Voldemort's wand, 
and does Wormtail still have his own wand?
8.  Are you convinced that you cannot apparate on the Hogwarts 
grounds, or is this a red herring?
9.  Why don't Fred, George or Harry see or notice Pettigrew on the 
Marauder's Map?
10.  In what order and by whom are James, Lily and Harry attacked?
