Aha. Grey Wolf, this is the very reason that the phrases, "I believe,"
"probably," "it might be that," "perhaps," and other such qualifiers are *so
important.* I don't think that your little "Disclaimer: Most of these
answers are not canon-based" up at the top of your post was sufficient; in
fact, I missed it on the first scan and was fixing you up a Howler (I
spotted it on the second go-round). Many readers tend to scan rather than
read every single word of a post--please to phrase speculative responses
more carefully.
Readers--Grey Wolf gave an impressive demonstration of memory, canon, and
*imagination.* For example, there is no canon basis for any spells on the
Triwizard Cup. Such spells are likely, but unspecified. We request that any
speculative arguments are clearly phrased as such--NOT: "Vernon Dursley had
a massive crush on Lily and only rebounded to Petunia, causing them both to
hate Lily thereafter", but rather "I think that maybe Vernon Dursley had a
massive crush etc." See?
