I have been listening to that audio clipet now over and over trying
to peice together what it means and I can only really come up with
this:
I have no idea what or whos house it is, unless it is as someone said
in here earlier a ministry house used to practise dark magic. The
only thing I can think of that has canon support about why Hermione
is raving that Harry might be expelled is because of last year during
the graveyard scene. It's apparent that students of Hogwarts are only
allowed to do magic AT Hogwarts. When they Goblet transferred Harry
to the graveyard he was far from school and we know that he did do
magic. I know many are saying; but Dumbledore knows that Harry only
did this because he had too but my theory was that it wasn't
Dumbledore that was trying to expell Harry that it was Fudge.
At the end of GoF it is very clear that Fudge does not believe the
graveyard story or doesn't want to and that he is fed up with Harry.
Considering that he believed Rita Skeeter's stories about being
troubled and dangerous he could've used the graveyard incident of him
doing magic against Harry and try to get Harry expelled because of it.
It sort of makes sense. Fudge obviously believes that Harry is
destranged if he would flat out refuse to believe that Rita Skeeter's
story was false. Knowing this, and presumably knowing that Harry is a
very powerful wizard he may choose to use this against Harry and try
to expell. I am assuming that Fudge- though not the Headmaster of
Hogwarts- would have the authority to step in and expell a student.
The only thing to me that seems to throw my theory off is that
Hermione says something about the Dementors which makes me think that
surely they don't use Dementors to descide if to expell someone or
not and they mention something about a ministry hearing, unless Fudge
accuses Harry of killing Cedric which is something I doubt highly
considering that Ron in the audio snippet seems to be taking
everything rather lightly which makes me think that Harry isn't being
accused of Cedrics death.
I also read somewhere on here that someone thinks that Harry might've
killed a Dursley out of self defense. This also has its
possibilities. Vernon was no doubt mad about The Weasleys coming into
his home, and the ton-tongue toffee fiasco could this bring Vernon
(or any of the Dursley's really) to the breaking point of trying to
hurt Harry physically-- to the point of death in which Harry would
have to defend himself?
Somehow I don't think, even if Harry is facing expullsion that he
will actually be expelled because I read in an interview and I'm
really sorry but I don't have the actual interview link but reading
that in book 5 there will be more of regular class time however this
could be wrong. Just a thought...what does everyone think? 6 days
seems like a lifetime.
