>>Also, is there some way that Harry can be a descendent of both
Salazar Slytherin AND Godric Gryffindor ?>>
Well...in CoS, Dumbledore states(typos aside), that Tom Riddle was
the last descendent of Slytherin. So..unless you want to buy into
Voldemort is Harry's Grandfather and that Dumbledore doesn't know
what he's talking about, then there's really no way for Harry to be
descendent from both.
>>Karkaroff will be back in book 5, and possibly take up
his rank as DE once again.>>
I don't know if I'll see that happening...I'm one of the ones that
takes Karkaroff to be the "coward" mentioned at the end of GoF. I
got the impression that those that didn't show up at the Meeting in
the Graveyard(the ones that didn't have an acceptable excuse, anyways-
and I think only being dead or imprisoned were acceptable, unless
you happened to be named Crouch) were going to be considered traitors
and killed(of course).
>>As Professor of astronomy, it seems that she probably has
seen exactly the same things the centaurs are reading in the stars.
Although McGonnagall doesn't beleive in "fortune telling" (could not
trusting the wisdom of others be McGonnagall's dire weakness?),
Sinistra could be a valuable key for either Dumbledore or Voldemort
in predicting the future, and figuring out what to watch for. She
would have somewhat inside information for the forthcoming wizard war
based on the stars.>>
Whoops, got your definitions mixed up there, bud.
Astronomy(what Sinistra teachers):The scientific study of matter in
outer space, especially the positions, dimensions, distribution,
motion, composition, energy, and evolution of celestial bodies and
phenomena.
Astrology(what Trelawney and the Centaurs use):The study of the
positions and aspects of celestial bodies in the belief that they
have an influence on the course of natural earthly occurrences and
human affairs.
I wish we'd get a peak inside the Astronomy classroom, instead of
just hearing about it's homework. I beleive that's the only class
the Trio is taking that we don't get the inside scoop on. Makes me
wonder, it does...
>>-----Pertaining to Neville...He owns Trevor, an amphibian, his
uncle's name
is Uncle Algie- like Algae, and Crouch/Moody gives him a book on
water plants.
Coincidences? I think not.>>
Also, Neville has been said to be good at Herbology(ties into the
water plants book). I believe that boy has got a bit of a green
thumb, and like others I'm waiting for him to come into his own
(perhaps even in Book 5, who knows). If you're making a tie to
Neville and water...well, I really can't see him being much of a
swimmer. But maybe we'll find out Neville takes secret midnight
trips down to the Lake to converse with the Merpeople at night... :)
>>And, ALDREA...are you out there? You'll be at a Swim Meet on June
21! I'm a
hardcore swimmer too! Have fun and good luck...so sorry to hear
you'll be
missing the first day of OoP!>>
I'm out here! Yep...it's a home meet, though, so atleast I won't be
getting back til about 7, I'll be done anywhere from 1-3. Not too
bad, I shall be home and reading in no time(of course, I'll probably
go insane from the heat and the lack of food coupled with the wanting
of my OoP X.X ).
~Aldrea, looking forward to both her home swim meet and the arrival
of her Order of the Phoenix.
