Wow, that thing got published?  Kneasy, bboy, one of you two better 
get crackin and publish some of these great theories that have been 
posted here.  If a person can get published for _speculating_ about 
some other author's characters and storylines, especially considering 
what a cash cow HP is, then wow, we could all be as rich as the Queen!

But Siriusly, I agree with whoever (so sorry, I can't find that post) 
said that it would be unbelievably cruel for one of Harry's parents 
to be alive all this time.  To leave Harry with the Dursleys, to let 
him grow up with no friends, no loved ones, no support, only for him 
to find out that one of his parents was alive the whole time would be 
enough, IMO, to send anyone over the edge of sanity!  Plus, once LV 
became Vapor!Mort (I love that one) what would be the point?  The 
entire wizarding community's celebrating, LV doesn't get any of his 
strength back until Harry's 11, why hide for ten peaceful years?!  
Why not enjoy watching Harry grow up, and then, when LV comes back, 
go into hiding, especially now that Harry's _relatively_ safe at 
Hogwart's under DD's protection?

Susan (teilani) who truly loves these crazy theories, and hopes to 
get published herself with a book called "Ickle Duddykins: My Life 
with Harry Potter" or maybe, "Snivellus: No One Understands Me Excpet 
My Twins" ;-)
