TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE


Innermurk:
>>I innermurk want to add: Here's an idea, what if the Sorting Hat told him?
The sorting hat had a nice little conversation with Harry, so it's not an
unheard of thing to happen.<<

***Koticzka's comment:
Actually he might be a heir or descendent, the chosen one or the one who
does the choosing. If he were a Muggle, we would ask - where are the
records? Where is your file, has it already been updated in our databases?
Or put someone through a long test instead of putting an old hat on his head
(ew, think about the hygiene, or lack thereof!).

We cannot say that Wizards have a much better ways of dealing with
information, according to JKR herself.  All I know is that I do not need to
talk to my mother to find out something about my family even if it was
forgotten for ages. My problem is,  I am too lazy to do that! That's not
Riddle's problem.

Kim said:
>>I have read much speculation about why Voldemort told Lily to stand aside
rather than just kill her out right.  What about this idea!  He would have
spared her because of his latent feelings for his own mother!  Maybe he
doesn't even realize it, probably would deny it if asked, but if he spent
all his life pining for the mother he loves but lost, perhaps seeing Lily so
fiercely protecting Harry gave him an unconscious momentary lapse in his
ruthlessness (is this a word?).<<

***Koticzka's comment:
Especially if she had also been adopted, which would be a double explanation
for Petunia's hatred.... (to be continued when I put my thoughts about Lily
in order)


HEIRS AND DESCENDANTS:

***Koticzka's comment:
Sorry for the feminist rhetoric, as I am a woman with strong anti-feminist
views, but it is men's nature to fight and construct rivalry. Two Founders
fight while the two Lady Founders have a useless chit-chat... or quarrel.
;)

innermurk again:
>>GG, on the other had did not have such strong ties to bloodlines as seen
by his willingness to teach Muggle-born witches and wizards.

****Koticzka's comment:
No comments. Just some dirty thoughts.

innermurk again:
>>Sirius in the end of POA calls Harry 'the last Potter' (pg 371) which
suggests that there is some importance to that family line if Voldemort
wants him so badly. For all we know, Harry could be the last descendant of
GG as well as his heir. Perhaps, the heirs and descendants of the two
'greatest' houses are destined to fight each other.<<

Brief Chronicles:
>>Harry Potter is our "Chosen One." Why did he live? Why does Voldemort want
so desperately to kill him? <<

***Koticzka's comment:
I am the author of some crazy theories, but the simplest (and fully
sufficient reason) would be that poor Potter Jr. survived, and by that
simple fact offended Lord Voldemort the Great and Invincible. Of course we
have canon (or we think we have) that Voldie attacked the Potters for a
purpose.

Anyway, I quit believing the theory Harry has Gryffindor's blood in veins.
In CS Dumbledore does not mention anything about heirs or descendants of GG.
Still, being SS's heir... Hmmm...

Brief Chronicles again:
>>So, I can see that it's possible the whole Potter line might be special.
Either that, or it's special to Sirius Black for nostalgia purposes.  :) <<

***Koticzka's comment:
Any bets about grandfathers? : )

Koticzka
How can you hurt a man who has nothing?
Give him something broken.
