While re-reading passages of the Order of the Phoenix I took the
time to chart out the geneology of Harry Potter through Sirus Black.
There are some startling things in this line of blood. As Ollivander
would say "curious, very curious." What's curious-
in Chaper 6 of the Phoneix book, Harry Potter discovers through
sirus that there are family connections to both the Weasley's and
the Malfoys. It appears that Narcissa, a sister to Andromeda (a
cousin), married Lucius and then came Draco. It also shows in this
geneology that Arther and Molly Weasley are cousins of Sirus,
unknown to Ron and his siblings at this time of course.
What I found interesting about the Weasley's is what Sirus tells
Harry when he finds their names among the blood lines:
(page 113, Order of the phoenix)- "if ever there were a bunch of
blood traitors, it's the Weasleys". It is an interesting paradox
when you consider the character of Percy Weasley and his betrayal of
the family and the followers of Dumbledore. It is a curious detail
in deed.
Later in the book, towards the end, Harry learns about his life
prophecy. He learns that the only one who can touch the prophecy is
the person whom it is about. You will remember when it was taken at
the Dept. of Mysteries that NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM picked it up. The
prophecy was marked "Harry Potter,?" The prophecy stated that a boy
born at the end of July, denied Voldemort three times, was marked
and made equal to Voldemort in strength would rise up to put an end
to it. Harry meets the prophecies telling, however, NEVILLE was
also born at the same time of Harry Potter and has his parents in
St. Mungos for cruciatus curse gone wrong thanks to Voldemorts
followers and now lives with his grandmother. Neville also appears
to act somewhat backward and clumsy, often forgetful of things he
should know. Perhaps he is truly himself, maybe something more lies
there from his parents attack, only unlike Harry who is scar
bearing, Neville suffers in other ways.
It is curious indeed.
