Hey everyone, 

First off wanted to say "Hi" to everyone, I'm new, just joined a 
couple days ago.  I have been reading the current (as well as past) 
posts, to see if anyone had addressed any of the questions that I 
have had going thru my head for a while now.  Since they were not, 
I'm going to pose them to you all.

*All page ref. are OOP US Hardback*


1.Petunia--After Harry fights with the dementors and brings Dudley 
home, Vernon starts shouting at Harry for harming his son.  Then 
Petunia lets *slip* that she knows more about the WW than was 
originally let on.  Then Harry tells the Dursleys that LV is back, 
and Petunia is very, very fearful when she hears this.  "Back?"  
whispered Aunt Petunia. pg 37.  Then she looks at Harry like she 
never had before...first paragraph pg 38. Is it just me, or does it 
seem like she is really, truly frightened when she hears that Voldy 
is back?  Like she may have had a previous encounter with him?  I've 
been thinking and maybe Petunia DID have a previous encounter with 
LV.  Maybe when he was looking for the Potters and since the (rat) 
Charm was already in place, he couldn't find them yet?  What if he 
went to the Evans' house, and demanded Petunia, and her parents to 
tell him where they were?  But maybe Dumbledore didn't tell the 
Evans' where they were going to be, because of this?  And since 
Voldy may not have believed them, he killed Petunia's parents in 
front of her.  Then turned on Petunia, and said the same thing, only 
she somehow *got out* of being AKed by Voldemort.  I remember him 
saying something like "She needn't have died
" in the graveyard 
about Lily.  But what if Petunia blames their parents' death on Lily 
and her "freakishness", and thereby cementing her hatred of the WW? 
(And we STILL don't know about the Evans' parents, dead, alive
.?  
We want to KNOW!!)

2.Ron and Hermione -- The day of Harry's Hearing they get their 
booklists, and Ron and Hermione are named prefects.  Harry is 
jealous of Ron for about 2 seconds
.then Moody shows him a picture 
of the First Order
and then Harry goes upstairs, and he hears 
someone crying in one of the rooms. (pg.175) He looks inside and 
sees Ron dead.  Now the first time I read this, I freaked, 
because "How can Ron die?? He can't DIE!!"  Then we learn that it is 
boggart, and it keeps changing into the Weasely family members.  
(The ones that we do see dead, I just can't help thinking that it is 
NOT a coincidence
)  Then waaaaay later in the DOM, (pg 792, 793), 
Dolohov (who is unable to speak), curses Hermione.  "
the DE made a 
slashing movement with his wand, and out flew a streak of purple 
flame.  It passed through her chest
then lay motionless."  Harry's 
panics and thinks "don't let her be dead, please don't let her be 
dead, it's my fault
."  This is the second time in ONE book where we 
get this false image of death.  It's both Ron and Hermione that 
Harry "sees" as dead.  Does anyone else think that this could be 
foreshadowing?  *And on a side note* After their Divination O.W.L. 
(pg 718) Ron says "I don't care if my tea leaves spell, die, Ron, 
die"—I'm chucking them in the bin where they belong!"  (Bold was MY 
emphasis..)  Ron has "surrounded" his OWN name with the word "die".  
Maybe he'll get himself into trouble that he won't be able to get 
out of
?  And I think that in this statement, Ron says that he is 
pretty much not going to pay attention to the "signs" of death that 
may end up around him.  (These 2 instances are what make me think 
that Ron will not make it to the end of the series
.)

3. New Headquarters -- When Harry first gets to Sirius' house, 
they're having a meeting. Harry goes upstairs and *reunites* with 
Ron, and Hermione.  (By shouting at them
)  After the meeting is 
over they all go into the kitchen for dinner, but they aren't fully 
done cleaning up after their meeting, are they?  Pg. 80— Tonks 
knocks something over on the table and Mrs.Weasley cleans it up, 
and "
in the flash of light
Harry caught a glimpse of what looked 
like a building plan".   Could this be a plan for a new headquarters 
(esp. now since Grimmauld Place seems to be "up in the air"?  Or 
could it be the plans for something else that DD maybe planning?  
Ideas, suggestions on this PLEASE!!


Hmmm
well, I think that's it
sorry it's soo long, but I haven't read 
anything anywhere that addressed these 3 things.  (Not in the way 
that I am looking at them anyways.)  I'm sorry if any of these 
topics have been discussed at length, but I haven't been able to 
find anything.  I look forward to reading people's thoughts on this. 
(Esp. about Petunia)
