Hi - this is my first post. I'm a happily married 35 yr old mom of 3.
None of the three are old enough to discuss HP at the level I would
like yet. I'm probably the only person hoping JRK takes a long time
to write 7 b/c I'd love to go to a midnight bookstore party with my
oldest when 7 comes out. My husband and friends are disgusted with me
and my HP theories and have told me to pretty much stuff it - so here
I am.
I agree with Juli. Nobody says that the murder HAS To be significant
to create an Horcrux. I also agree with a couple of the people for
each horcrux. Ring: father, the diary: Myrtle - there were scorch
marks outside Myrtle's bathroom in CoS (p154US). And in HBP,
(p506US), DD is talking to harry about making the final horcrux with
Harry's death he says, "After an interval of some years, however, he
used Nagini to kill and old Muggle man, and it might then have
occurred to him to turn her into his last Horcrux.) So we know he
just has to "use" the snake to kill - which is the same with the
basilisk in CoS. I'm assuming DD knows how to make a horcrux even
though he never tells Harry.
then Juli continues:(turned into Vapor, spent years and years in the
forest in Albania, until Peter Pettigrew found him, gave him a wand)
Not just any wand! - his own wand which we know b/c in GoF Harry's
parents came out of it. (Which also leads to my theory that Peter was
there in Godric's Hollow when Harry's parents were killed b/c he had
the wand hidden somewhere all those years. But thats another thread.)
But I think its important b/c Wormtail would know of the horcruxes
b/c he was present when Nagini was made into one.
But the rest of the horcruxes: The locket - do you think he could
have made it killing Burkes? We never see him do we? Hepzibah tells
Voldemort that Burke ripped off his mom in HBP (p437 US) when he bought it from her. I have absolutely no proof, its just a hunch. I was thinking the cup would be with Hepzibah's death b/c she was an actual descendant of Helga Hufflepuff. The something Ravenclaw (and I have to believe its Ravenclaw) I have no idea. And the last I think is Nagini- I've been thinking about this one a while and I think it is true too.
We know Voldermort was in Nagini when he attacked Arthur b/c Harry WAS
the snake. That would mean that 2/7ths of Voldermort was present in
the snake and perhaps that was enough to make him realize that the
link to Harry's mind existed. This is an assumption on my part that
Voldemort could go in and out of horcruxes at will. But, on pg 474
OoP the Weasley's and Harry are taking a port key to Grimauld place
and at instant they are leaving, "Dumbledore's clear blue gaze moved
from the Portkey to Harry's face....There arose within Harry a hatred
so powerful he felt, for that instant, that he would like nothing
better than to strike -- to bite-- to sink his fangs into the man
before him---" Doesn't that sound like the first time that Voldemort
(still in Nagini), sees what Harry can see(Dumbledore who he hates),
and realizes the link exists? And the response wasn't to punch him or
do the AK curse on him - it was the reaction of an animal. And then
that of course leads to the Occlumency lessons b/c Dumbledore realizes
what he has seen too.
So what do you think?
