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!
