This is only my second attempt at a post, and hoping it's
slightly
more successful than the last one. So, on with the post.
As far as I can tell no one has brought up the theory of the
possibility that Lord Voldamort is a relation of Harry's on
Lily's
side. Now before everyone starts getting into an uproar about that
being impossible please hear me out and try and follow my theory.
This theory was partially inspired by the lecture I was
sitting in a few weeks ago in my anthropology class when we were
studying kinship systems throughout the world and comparing them to
our kinship system, the Euro-American or Eskimo Kinship systems, when
it struck me on a way that Harry could be related to Lord Voldamort
himself, through Lily, and it still work that Lily * is * still a
muggle-born. Now, to help explain the initial part of this theory, I
will use my own family situation to help explain the initial part of
the idea, and then expound on it by showing how this would work in my
Harry/Voldamort connection.
Now, I am the youngest of my father's four children, but my
mother's only child. This is explained by the fact that my
father
has been married twice, in where he had three children with his first
wife, and they separated and divorced for their reasons and then my
father met my mother and they married and then they, my father and
mother, had me. Making me both an only child and they youngest of
four children.
What's to say that something like this didn't happen in Tom
Riddle's (Sr.) case? I thin its kind of close-minded to say that
Riddle didn't get re-married between the time of his first wife,
Voldamort's mother, died, and his death, by Voldamort's wand,
about
sixteen to seventeen years later. Now I know there's a hole in
that
Riddle and his parents were the only ones killed in the mansion, but
my theory also does take into account that the second Mrs. Riddle
could have been at some type of women's social even or maybe home ill
that
night. The only thing it doesn't explain is why she wouldn't
have
been mentioned in the town gossip after the incident or why he was
living with his parents. Seperated/Divorce? Who knows, but I'm
working on that part.
But anyways, I digress back to the heart of the theory, which
all relies on Riddle and second Mrs. Riddle having at least one child
who is female. Now this riddle daughter, is of course, a muggle
herself, just like her mum and dad, who raise her and watch her grow,
to a certain extent for Mr. Riddle in that he would have been
murdered in her early teens, leaving second Mrs. Riddle and Daughter
husband and fatherless, respectively.
Now our young Miss Riddle continues growing and eventually
meets and marries a young man by the name Evans, also a muggle, and
they get married and start their own little family. Of course the
rest is history after their daughter Lily receives her letter to
Hogwarts School of Whitchcraft and Wizardry.
Now I hope that this somehow meets the requirements that
meets how Lily could be a muggle-born witch, and still be totally, or
not so totally, I believe that would be beyond the point of the
theory, unaware "Uncle Voldamort," and also gives a reason
why
Voldamort would be willing to spare Lily, if anything to
study/interrogate her on her family history, and then dispose of her
as well.
I'm still racking my brain on how Snape might fit into the
whole scheme of things, but I'm coming up blank and wondering if
any
of the Snape theorists might have some ideas on how he might fit into
it. Or maybe not. I don't know.
Again, I'm hoping that this theory hasn't been brought up
before and hoping that even if it has, someone might be able to get
something out of this at least. What ever way you look at this
theory, I believe that it will be either proved or disproved in the
next book, and this is the back ground history of Lily's that
everyone is so eager to hear about and will severely test Harry's
mental boundaries and what he perceives in his world versus the real
world that he lives in, and how he relates and perceives it.
Thanks for hearing me out,
Respectfully,
Lady Promethia
