BOOK 5?!?!?!?!?!

**************************************
HERE ARE SEVERAL Questions and Inconsistencies THAT I HAVE AFTER 
READING OOTP. 

1. Was Hagrid wrong when he said Lily and James were Head Boy and Girl 
in their year?(SS) Do you not have to be a prefect to be Head Boy/Girl? 
Unless Heads are merely the top academically in the 7th years......but still. 

2. Where and when and how did Harry get the Maurauders map back after 
Crouch/Moody had it?

3. Curiosity: Did anyone ever reveal to the twins that they spent the summer 
with Mooney and Padfoot?

4. Snape's pensieve:
Why were Lily and James calling each other "Potter" and "Evans"? I thought 
we had from a chat/interview with JKR that they were both in Gryffindor-- 
calling each other by last names does not seem to be something one would 
do to housemates. In fact you rarely see it across any other houses but 
Slytherin and Gryffindor. So......what house was Lily in???

Why can we see what James was writing about "LE"-- wouldn't Snape himself 
have to have seen this in order to have the knowledge of what he wrote? If 
not, then man-- could a pensieve be handy-- and more than a little 
dangerous...????

6. Why was Hermione staying at OotP HQ? Why was she not at home-- 
hasn't she like seen her parents hardly at all for the past so many years-- she 
even left xmas early to come back. 

7. Does everyone in the order know the prophecy? None thought maybe 
Harry should know it?? Not even when it was known that Harry was 
dreaming about the location of a recording of it and might have been being 
lured there??

8. The Death: 
What spell killed him? It said Bellatrix sent RED light which Sirius dodged and 
then the second jet of (presumably red?) light hit him and he fell-- what is
this 
spell?? It is not Avada Kedavra-- that is green. Was Sirius stunned so he 
would fall into the veil and thus die??? Is Sirius' s body gone for good? No 
corpse? No memorial??

Is this veil thing common knowledge in the wizaerding world becuase Lupin 
seemed to understand right away what it all meant.......?

So we know Harry and Luna could hear voices in the veil, Hermione and Ron 
made no comments about it either way, but Ginny and Neville were 
"mesmorized" by it as were Harry and Luna. Some have said it may be like 
seeing the thestrals and knowing death is required to heare the voices, but if
it 
follows the thestral thinking then who did Ginny see die between the time they 
rode the Thestrals to when they saw the veil??? Why did Harry not see the 
thestrals at the end of GoF?

If these are just my questions as a reader-- I would imagine Harry would have 
even more questions about understanding WHAT happened exactly to Sirius 
and how he died and where his body went/is ---these would be FOREMOST 
on his mind and crucial blocks to proper grieving and acceptance of the 
death.

9. What happened to the Death Eaters that were stunned/ knocked out, etc in 
the DoM at the end of the night? We know Bellatrix got away, but what about 
the others?? Draco Malfoy alludes that his father is in Azkaban.....but the 
paper only two days later says that Azkaban and the dementors are no longer 
under the ministry.....how quickly would any captured DE's be sentenced and 
sent away there? Isn't the loss of control of Azkaban a MAJOR thing? What 
happened to all the prisoners?? 

10. History of Magic OWL: was Harry recalling his notes or using some sort 
of mind reading to gleen it somehow?

11. Why, when Dumbledore and Harry returned, did DD decide that it was 
now safe to talk to and look at Harry? Couldn't V have heard the prophecy 
through Harry then? Could V hear it using the mind of Harry since Harry 
knows it now?? 

12. Can V peruse through Harry's mind or use Legilimens like Snape did to 
get info from Harry or can V only see through Harry's eyes as Harry can see 
through his at times?

13. What exactly was Umbridge's motivation to go so far as sending 
dementors after Harry to silence him and get him expelled?? She seems to 
like the Slytherins....is she serving V? Why did her touch to Harry's hand 
awaken the link to Voldemort and make the scar hurt?

14. Does anyone know about Harry's attempt to use Crucio on Bellatrix? This 
was the most un-canon-like thing in the book. I just don't believe it. If it
were 
not JKR, I would flame the author.

15. So there is an entire room off the circular room in the DoM with nothing 
but Love?? But it is locked at all times? Who locked it? How does DD know 
then? How and why is it locked there? Aren't those things in the DoM under 
study? If it is locked, then who is studying it and if no one is studying it,
then 
why is it there? * This love is the power that Harry has that V will know
not??? 
Is this clear?

16. How do prophecies get recorded? Is it automatic? Is there a record of 
Trewlaney's second prediction to Harry at the end of PoA? Probably No and 
No because then the second rise of Voldemort would have been believed to 
whomever works in DoM and would probably have had to go over newly 
recorded/made prophecies. So, they why was the first prophecy sent to be 
archived and reported? (Note: on the sphere it says the initials who made the 
prophecy and to whom.) 

17. So what the hell was Snape's mission at the close of GoF? We see from 
his proficiency at occlumency that he would have been able to be a spy 
during the first reign but now? All we know is he is somehow acting to find
out 
what V is saying to his DE. Or so he says. His proficiency at occlumency 
leaves him not only to have hidden truths from Voldemort but also able to now 
still hide truth from Dumbledore, likely.

18. The chapter picture for Ch 24: since when does Snape have a mustache 
and goatee????? C'mom Mary Grandpre........

That is all for now.......
