Hello to all of you. I was surfing the mugglenet and found that one of the questions that was selected in the Ask JKR contest was- What would Boggart turn into if he sees Voldemort?
Well, I am trying to answer this question and the answer is simple and straight. Voldemort will see Boggart in his original form. Lets go ahead and prove this one.
Boggart is shape-lifter, which takes the shape of the thing the person standing in front of him fears the most. It is necessary for Boggart to see that person in order to take the shape of his/her worst fear. There is one person who has seen Boggart in his original form and his name is Alastor Moody. Moody had recognized the Boggart in the drawer when Molly asked her to confirm it. Here, Boggart didnt see Moody even if Moodys magical eye saw him. Hence, Moody saw the real shape of Boggart.
Lets see what Boggart does when he sees a person in front of him. We can say that Boggart doesnt need a wand to do this type of legilimency. Yes, I am talking about legilimency. Boggart penetrates the mind of his client and immediately gains the knowledge of HIS/HER FEAR. And after that, it takes the shape of that fear. Thats how it works.
Now comes the question of wizards like Voldemort, Dumbledore, and Snape who have mastered Occlumency. If they see a Boggart, they can easily close their minds to him and hence Boggart is confused and is forced to take no shape at all. Hence, Boggart wont take any shape when he will see Voldemort or Dumbledore or Snape.
