I have always wondered why Harry has not asked anyone what his
parents did for a living. I would like to hear JKR's reason for his
lack of curiousity there. Since book four, I have thought the
obvious - that the Potters were Aurors. But since everyone seems to
be so secretive about them, maybe James and/or Lily worked for the
Department of Mysteries. If one or both of them were Unspeakables,
maybe that explains why no one ever talks about J&L's careers - no
one really knows what the Unspeakables actually do. Just a thought..
