I'm in chapter 10 of PoA and I came across a conversation between
McGonagall, Flitwick, Hagrid, Fudge and Rosemerta in the Three
Broomsticks. Harry, Ron and Hermione are listening in.
They are discussing Black and Potter in their school days. Rosmerta
and the Hogwarts staff all remember them vividly and fondly
(confirming that Flitwick was a teacher then, as we had decided in a
different thread.) McGonagall and Flitwick refer to them as Black
and Potter. Pettigrew is also mentioned. We've seen McGonagall use
James' first name before, but she doesn't here.
Fudge however, talks about Lily and James by first names. I thought
that was odd. Do we know if he is the same age (he isn't
necessarily saying he recalls the schooldays, but he does talk about
the wedding) He could just be name dropping or they could have been
friends? co-workers? former classmates?
Any ideas?
I thought I posted this before, but haven't seen it. Sorry if it
pops up twice.
