Please take this with a grain of salt...but it is fun to think about.
While I was sitting here tonight trying to do anything but watch
American TV, I for some reason fell upon this odd discovery. It may
be, and probably most definitely is, an odd coincidence, but I found
it a bit interesting. I was wondering what ya?ll thought.
What if JKR put a code into her names to help us distinguish whether
the characters were good or evil. Like the sort of codes people
search for in the Bible to try and say God is quite clever and
mysterious. Well, I think I have found a code to tell who is evil in
Potterland.
Intrigued? Ok then.
The key to the secret code is that the name that distinguishes a
character from all the other characters must have only three vowels.
[no ?y? does not count as a vowel in this code]
[To assist with my ?logic? ;) on this code, I distinguish the last
name before the first name, like in sports. It will be explained why
as we go on.]
First example:
Ok who is the one character that all in this yahoo group agree is
truly a bad, evil character? Voldemort
(a) It is the only name we are given for his represented evil self.
(b) It has three vowels. [Evil]
Ok then, easy so far.
Second example:
Bad guy from PS/SS? Quirrell
(a) Only name we are given for him
(b) Three vowels [Evil]
Assumed Bad Guy by The Three in PS/SS? (Severus) Snape
(a) only Snape we know of
(b) two vowels [Not evil] (Ignoring the screams of all those Snape haters
out there)
Third example:
Bad guy from CoS? Lucius (Malfoy)
(a) must distinguish him from his son and wife, so use first name
(b) three vowels [Evil]
Assumed Bad Guy by school in CoS? Harry (Potter)
(a) distinguish from parents, so use first name
(b) one vowel {Not evil]
Fourth example:
True Bad Guy from PoA? (Peter) Pettigrew
(a) only Pettigrew we know
(b) three vowels [Evil]
Assumed Bad Guy by all WW in PoA? (Sirius) Black
(a) only Black we know
(b) only one vowel [Not evil] (Ignoring all those Black haters out there)
Fifth Example:
Bad Guy in GoF? (Bartemius Crouch) Junior
(a) I used the Junior since son and father have the same name
(b) And thus three vowels [Evil] (my the code is tricky)
Assuming ya?ll are seeing the pattern, I want to run down a list to
see who else might we see as evil or good. (teehee)
Weasleys (we do have nine so I will use first names)
Arthur: 2
Molly: 1
Bill: 1
Charlie: 3 [Evil] (ahhhhh, no not Charlie)
Percy: 1
Fred: 1
George: 3 [Evil] (seems the twins are distinguishable)
Ron: 1, or even if you wish, Ronald: 2
Ginny: 1
Students:
(Hermione) Granger: 2
Draco (Malfoy): 2 (hmm, much be some good in him then)
Neville (Longbottum): 3 [Evil] (no crying N.I.N.E. members)
Parvati (Patil): 3 [Evil]
Padme (Patil): 2 (once again twins divided)
(Pansy) Parkinson: 3 [Evil]
{I know there are more but I did not want to spell out each character.
On to?)
Professors:
Albus (Dumbledore): 2
McGonagall: 3 [Evil] (hmmmmm?)
Hagrid: 2
Flitwick: 2
Lockhart: 2 (well he was an idiot not evil)
Lupin: 2 (though as, werewolf: 3 [Evil] )
Trelawney: 3 [Evil]
(Alastor) Moody: 2
Other notables:
Fudge: 2
(Bartemius Crouch) Senior: 3 [Evil]
Bagman: 2
Skeeter: 3 [Evil]
And the evil of evils assumed?
Deadeaters:
(Igor) Karkaroff: 3 [Evil]
(Evan) Rosier: 3 [Evil]
Lestrange (both really): 3 [Evil]
Macnair: 3 [Evil]
Mulciber: 3 [Evil]
(Antonion) Dolohov: 3 [Evil]
[I left out Crabbe, Nott, and Goyle since we are yet able to
distinguish them from the kids]
The Deadeaters list continues to work with Barty Jr., Pettigrew, and
even Snape since he is now good.
So there it is. The Potterland code of who is evil/good is broken.
See wasn?t that so easy. ;)
It is all a bit odd though. I found it greatly amusing.
Melody who really needs a new hobby.
