The textbook & spells, Gryffindor's and the Weasley's, and something more...

One of my posts dissapeared so I'm reposting this. I think that 
Hermione was right about the handwriting in the textbook. I think it  
belonged to a girl--Snape's mom. Snape never invented any of these 
spells, they are his mother's, and he just added his new moniker, 
HBP, to the book--that's all.

There are children that have book smarts like Hermione, Lupin and 
Snape; and then there are children who have something extra: 
Dumbledore, Harry, Ginny, Lily, Fred & George, and most likely 
Sirius. These people that are able to take what they learn and do 
something more with it. Teachers love students like these. 


I like how Slughorn commented how Hermione's response to a question 
was quoted word-for-word from the textbook. Hermione is actually 
capable of more, and that is why the hat sorted her into Gryffindor.  
Hermione also chose her friends well. Ron and Harry help Hermione 
to "think-outside-the-box" so to speak. 

Want to make a bet that Snape's mother put him down and called him 
talentless?

Polyjuice: 
JKR loves to use polyjuice. I kept wondering why Goyle and (that 
other kid) kept polyjuicing themselves into girls in HBP. Was JKR 
trying to tell us that it is possible for boys to change into girls 
and vice versa?

Ginny is a strong witch (Harry's equal) and she also played the 
position of "Seeker" when Harry could not. Will Ginny take Harry's 
role in the war an attempt to save him? I wonder if Ginny will 
polyjuice herself into Harry to lead the DEs away from the real 
Harry? I wonder? 

I hope Ron will finally show his strategist skills (just wishing). 

I also think that Harry will find out that the Weasley's and 
Dumbledore are direct descendants of Godric Gryffindor. It took me a 
while to figure this out. He will read it in the geneology book at 
Sirius's house. This will really impress Harry because unlike 
Voldemort, who threw in everyone's face his blood-line, DD and the 
Weasley's do not.       

So, in a sense Ron is Dumbledore---via his blood-line.  HAHA
