Well, if you buy into Polyjuiced!Arabella, then she isn't as old as 
we think she is... ;)

I don't doubt Lupin and Black's abilities, including their one to 
overcome their personal problems and thus become a huge help.

My thoughts, on someone planing to attack Hogwarts, has often 
reminded me of a line from the X-men Movie: "I feel a great swell of 
pity for the poor fool who comes to that school... looking for 
trouble."  With all the Wizards and Witches out there who would fight 
for good(your list excluded the Weasleys, whom I think will be part of
[or if they aren't already, then joining] the "old crowd"), and then 
add to that the number of students/teachers in that school who would 
be more than willing to fight to defend it, I've always seen an 
attack rather pointless.


~Aldrea, who was recently re-reading her HP books, and(never having 
heard of either of these theories/thoughts before) was planning to 
make a post questioning the Arabella-Cabbage-Polyjuice connection and 
the Can Hagrid Apparate Question...but on searching the archive, 
thought better of it.
