Lots of theories have been put out about Harry going to Azkaban, but 
I'm not going to reprint all here.  (Go up the thread, if you 
haven't, it's worthwile reading).  

Now could someone British help me out with this?  In the United 
States, we have a seperate juvenile system.  Does (for lack of better 
term) the Muggle British justice system have such a thing?  Would the 
Wizarding system?  How closely does what we have seen of the 
Wizarding system match the British system?  In the United States, one 
has to commit a very serious crime or be very close to 18 (and 
usually with a long juvenile record) to stand trial as an adult.  
Wouldn't this play in to these theories?

Also, it was mentioned that in SS, You-Know-Who promised Harry the 
return of his parents.  In the US version, it only says he promised 
that Harry would live, not end up dead like his parents.  Is this a 
different translation?  It certainly would put a really cool spin on 
things.  Although, now that I think of it, I remember JKR saying in 
an interview that there is no spell to bring back the dead, so it 
would have been a lie anyway.  Shoot.  There goes that theory.  
They'd have kicked Harry's butt for joining with evil just to bring 
them back anyway.

Keep the theories coming!
