it.  I believed instantly that Harry was NOT seeing things and that 
Dumbledore really did have a twinkle in his eye.  Now that Voldemort 
is carrying Harry's blood, he has opened himself to a weakness, which 
of course he doesn't see yet.

Me:
I think we all agree that Harry was not seeing things, that 
Dumbledore did have a twinkle in his eyes... Harry dismisses it 
because he doesn't understand the connection. Hermione's even worse 
in dismissing/not sharing things she doesn't understand - she must be 
sure before she shares, and she dismisses house-elves NOT wanting 
pension, vacation etc as brain-wash, because she doesn't understand 
such attitude (but I'm sure any Hufflepuff would).

Lea: 
> Oh yeah, and my 2nd thought on this matter - how will they be able 
to use this new information against Voldemort?  Hmm...  maybe a 
little chat with our Potions Master might be the catalyst to get 
something brewing?

Me: Yes, well... I suppose Snape *would* make a potion -- but what 
kind? Polyjuice, with Crouch Jr.'s hair, to meet up with Voldemort?? 
Then again, Harry's not likely to be in on that plan... However, 
Harry's to ask a question JKR hopes we'd feel he should have asked a 
long time ago (or so I read somewhere).
Some questions: One he's already asked - Why do wizards hide from 
Muggles? - but Hagrid probably wasn't the right person to answer... I 
mean really - if Muggles would seek magic as an easy answer, wizards 
can just refuse, right? Honestly, if a muggle i.e. points a gun at 
said wizard, the wizard could turn that gun into a flower or 
something...

Or..
Ask Sirius for his account on what Snape calls "murder" and 
Lupin "trick" - what has Sirius to say? Innocent until proven guilty 
is one leading theme in all series, mostly in PoA...

I still have that 'accident' theory on that: Sirius may have toyed 
with the idea of Snape getting bitten with Lupin without planning to 
do it; Snape overheard Sirius and Pettigrew talking about getting 
past Whomping Willow, just after before Pettigrew became animagus, 
and they might have been planning to surprise Lupin; Sirius notices 
that Snape overheard and tells James, who rushes in to save Snape 
that night...

Or um-- Ask Aunt Petunia about his Mom's childhood...

Anyone else come up with a question Harry should have asked?
