I'm listening to Jim Dale's reading of CoS with my kids, and for
some reason Dobby's comment to Harry at Privet Drive stuck out to me
more than on past readings:
"No, no, no," squeaked Dobby, shaking his head so hard his ears
flapped. "Harry Potter must stay where he is safe. He is too
great, too good, to lose." [US hardback, p. 16]
I realize this could just be his commenting on what Harry had
*already done*, at Godric's Hollow. But somehow it seems to "hold
more," if you know what I mean?
Then there's how Lucius always seems to know so much more than he
ought to. [Why would HE know Sirius' capability of becoming a black
dog animagi, for instance?] Anyway, whether because there's a spy
reporting to him or because *he* overheard the first part of
Trelawney's prophecy, does Lucius KNOW what the prophecy says? Or
at least the first part? Does Dobby, too, from things overheard at
Malfoy Manor?
Or have I gone nuts from spending too much time with the kids on
school vacation already? :-|
