Hagrid's Death / Barty Jr's Real Father / AK+Lily & My *One* Most Rock-Solid OoP Prediction

Amy, on Lupin:

>Well ladies and gentlemen of the jury, 
>Lupin is going to eat Denis Creevey.

Cindy, after a spit take:

I vote for the forest and that the 
hari-kari be assisted by a Creevey 
grandmother...who'd be wearing a 
little red riding hood.  <g>  Not that 
I want Lupin to die...really!

So...if I make nebulous and baseless 
predictions, can I make more than just 
one?  :)

(1) Hagrid dies at the tail of one 
Norwegian Ridgeback named Norbert. 
<hears groans>  What?  Doesn't ALL of 
Hagrid's pets wag their tails when 
they hear 'Mummy' call their names?  
:)  Not that I want Hagrid to 
die...really!

(2) Crouch Sr. was cuckolded by the 
Dark Lord.  Perhaps suspicions of this 
fueled Crouch Sr.'s obsession with 
eliminating Voldemort while employing 
methods as cruel as the DE's - it's 
personal, not ideological.  Besides, I 
suspect that Barty Jr. is a son in 
search of his real father [Crouch Sr.: 
"You are no son of mine!"] and 
Voldemort's got serious paternal 
issues;  what better way to explore 
these issues than to bestow upon 
Patricidal Maniac his very own son?  
Too bad Barty Jr.'s been kissed...or 
he could carry on the family 
tradition, so to speak.

(3) Avada Kedavra is a cannibalistic 
curse.  When used on Muggles, the 
benefit to the one who performed the 
curse is similar to the benefit of 
drinking unicorn blood.  This could 
explain how Voldemort's main 
objective, to conquer death, go so 
well with the Death Eaters' creed, 
perhaps manifested in Lucius Malfoy's 
opposition to Arthur Weasley's 
"Muggle PROTECTION Act."

Y'know, it's interesting that 
Voldemort didn't just lose his store 
of life force and become less than 
even the meanest ghost when his AK 
backfired - he also transferred some 
of his own powers to Harry.  As 
Dumbledore said, it's not something 
Voldemort intended to do. Perhaps a 
backfired AK is much like the 
backfired memory charm of Lockhart's 
or the "eat slugs!" curse of Ron's: 
what was suppose to happen to the 
cursed happens to the one who 
performed the curse.

I suspect that AK'ing a wizard/witch 
would not only yield a harvest of life 
force <sorry this is getting kinda 
ewww...> but also the powers which 
makes a witch/wizard magical.

I suspect that Lily have figured out a 
'legacy' charm, for lack of a canon 
term. Such a charm would be the 
antithesis of the AK in that the 
transfer of power is NOT to the one 
performing the spell.  Perhaps "Lily's 
sacrifice" refers to giving up her 
magical abilities in order to cast her 
legacy charm which then reverses the 
AK, once Voldemort performs it.  Or 
maybe no such legacy charm is 
necessary.

Perhaps magical powers WILLINGLY GIVEN 
up by Lily deflected Voldemort's 
curse that intended to FORCIBLY TAKE 
such powers; this then led to Voldemort 
UNKNOWINGLY GIVING his own powers to 
Harry, the only human being left alive 
there.  Ironic, no?

Either way, such a charm would be 
counter-intuitive to Voldemort's 
completely self-centered world view.  
Little wonder this is a protection he 
did not foresee.  If Lily is the only, 
or one of few to know of such a charm, 
no wonder the AK has not yet been 
successfully blocked even by mothers 
who love their children as much as 
Lily loves Harry.  These mothers had 
motive but not the means.
