Del replies:
Sorry, I was being elliptic, my fault. I meant that such a simplified
version of the truth was bound to sound completely fantastic : "LV is
back through unspecified means, he killed Cedric Diggory, he wants to
kill Harry Potter and to take the world over again". It sounds as
crazy as saying that Elvis is alive again and sang at a friend's
wedding last week-end.

details."

Del replies:
I agree. I understand that Harry was not able to talk about those
things at first. What I'm saying is that I also understand how it
looked to those who had only a very simplified version of the events
and who were basically asked to believe Harry blindly.

"I think name "Voldemort" should ring more bells for people in WW than
story about aliens. They went through a horrible war with said wizard
already, so if someone claims that Voldemort babck, and not just ANY
teenager, but someone who even if unwillingly helped to vangush him,
I'd say they should listen."

Del replies:
If Harry had been actually trying to get some attention, he would most
probably have dragged LV back from the dead : getting rid of LV is
what got him his fame to start with, so pretending that LV was back
but that Harry had managed to defeat him again would have looked like
the best way to become an instant hero all over again. So the fact
that it was precisely Harry, and Harry alone, who proclaimed that LV
was back might have looked very suspicious to many people.

Agreed !!
