>>1. I know this has been discussed to some degree before but I only
found one post on this area (if wrong I am sorry): Trelawney thinks
that Harry was born in mid-winter. [snip quote]
It was posted before (by Snow, I think) that Trelawney was mixing up
Harry and Voldemort. BUT! Trelawney made the prophecy! Wouldn't she
of all people know when Harry Potter's birthday was? If the whole
wizarding world knows about The-Boy-Who-Lived and she MADE the
prophecy she should know when his birthday is!<<

HunterGreen:
Well, she was in a trance when she made the prophecy, so she might 
not even know she made it. I don't know if Dumbledore told her or 
not, but I'd guess that he didn't.

>>2. Polyjuice Potion. [snip] And, after taking the potion for some 
time does a person begin to take on attributes of the person they are 
cloning? I am just amazed when Barty Jr. turns Malfoy into a ferret. 
It made me think that that was really Moody but, of course, it 
wasn't.<<

HunterGreen:
I wonder though, would Moody really turn a student into a traitor? I 
see that scene as more Barty Jr. not liking Draco because he is the 
son of "DE traitor" Lucius Malfoy.

>>4. I still think Fudge is a bad guy. He always seems to do the wrong
thing at the right time for the bad guys. For instance, WHY, WHY,
WHY would he bring the dementor in to give the Soul Kiss to Barty
Jr.? So no one would hear the TRUTH, of course! Again, the truth is
only known by a select few because of Fudge. <<

HunterGreen:
And where did he get a Dementor so fast? Or did he bring a Dementor 
with him to a school competition?
