Reading a series of posts about Aberforth Dumbledore being the Hog's 
Head bartentder and possibly being on Voldemort's side got me 
thinking. I might just have another fact that could back up this 
theory. In GoF, when the Trio burst into Hagrid's hut to convince 
him to show his face after "that Skeeter cow" published an article 
about him, Dumbledore used his brother as an example for Hagrid. 
Could Aberforth have been persecuted because he was suspected to be 
a DE? Oh, no, that was for practicing inappropriate charms on a 
goat. But that means he was a little *unusual*, so could Voldemort 
have taken advantage of that? OK, that's really farfetched, but I 
just thought I'd mention it. One other thing, Dumbledore wasn't sure 
Aberforth could read. An illiterate wouldn't be able to get a job 
much better than bartender, would he?

My other point is that someone (sorry, can't remember the exact post 
at the moment) suggested that maybe Narcissa Malfoy was actually a 
good guy and would steer Draco to fight Vmort now that Lucious is 
out of the picture. But, remember that Narcissa's maiden name is 
Black, and she was on Sirius's family tapestry. If she were really 
Dumbledore's ally, wouldn't she have been disowned and burned off? 
Anyone want to comment on this?
