Snow:

This has to have been the best TBAY post I have seen yet, Neri! Wow

what research you put into this four-part post, well done! This one 
should go directly to the Fantastic Post archives. 
I have a few, very few, comments or rather possible contributions to 
strengthen your ship's sail
 or not, depending.


This is in regards to the missing 24 hours and the possibility that 
Harry had been taken to the Longbottoms for care until Hagrid could 
deliver Harry later that evening to the Dursley's. The Longbottoms 
torture could have been a result of that involvement
 

There was a large tawny owl that "none of them noticed" at the 
Dursley's just as Uncle Vernon had left for work, pg. 2 SS. I have a 
strong feeling that this was the owl that informed Petunia that she 
should meet Dumbledore at a specific time and place. Dumbledore would 
had to have informed the Longbottoms of the previous nights 
happenings (at Godric's Hollow) if they were to watch over Harry 
until what time he could make arrangements for his Aunt to take him, 
so Dumbledore used the Longbottom's owl in messaging Petunia just 
after Vernon left. 
The connection to the Longbottoms and the large tawny owl is on pg. 
194 of GOF: "A large tawny owl soared down to Neville Longbottom and 
deposited a parcel into his lap- Neville almost always forgot to pack 
something."
What is this line for
 to tell us that Neville is forgetful, again? 
Or is it that this `tawny owl' has something important to say? This 
owl was on page two of the very first book and when we hear from him 
again, is it just a throw away line
 or is it a connection?  


Neri:

mysteries and
questions:

1. What will be the role of the veil in the story?

Snow:
Where Harry rescues Sirus
 duh


3. Why were the Longbottoms attacked?

Snow:

`Cause Alice worked with Lily as an unspeakable in an attempt to 
combat Voldemort with an ancient charm that he knows of but 
underestimates. 
 
4. How did the Longbottoms come to be attacked by their boss' son?

Snow:

This one is too easy
 the Imperious curse that Jr. couldn't resist 
anywhere near Harry's ability too. 
Jr. had been bound to his father and Winky for nigh on to twelve 
years and could not defeat the effect of this curse that Harry had 
overcome in what
three tries? (And Crouch Jr. got twelve Owls, how 
many should Harry get?)


5. Who sent the Lestranges after the Longbottoms?

You're starting to make my head hurt Neri; if we knew the answer
then 
we would know the answer to the puzzle? I will however reply with a 
Lucius
because he is just too slippery. 


6. Why was Crouch Sr. so sure that his son was guilty?

Snow:

Didn't matter to Sr. whether or not his son was guilty, it was all 
about him(self).


7. Why did Bellatrix say that she had tried to find Voldemort?

Snow:

Sorry, don't recall this incident at all.

8. Why was Fudge eager to get rid of Crouch Jr. in the end of GoF?

Snow:

He's a politician! And Crouch Jr. was a possible informant. Fudge is 
only out for himself and anyone that could possibly jeopardize his 
position needs to be extinguished.  


9. Why will Fudge be kicked out of office in HBP?

Snow:
This part could be the humor in the book. The Goblins, very little 
seen or heard about, annoying so in my opinion, will finally make 
their debut, will not only take down Fudge but Ludo too.  

10. How can the Longbottoms be cured quickly?

Snow:

Not so sure about Frank but Alice definitely will recover. Alice was 
an unspeakable, imo, along with Lily! And is trying to reach her son 
by giving him clues that are representative of where she worked. 
Then again, to Gran it's all about Frank
HER SON
and Alice, even if 
she had a reportable position, Gran would never admit it. 

 
11. What is the big secret the Longbottoms will reveal?

Snow:

That Alice knew, along with Lily, how to possibly defeat Voldemort; 
at the very least they were working on it.

Neri:

E.L.K.I.N.S. A.V.E.N.G.E.D.

Enthralled Longbottoms Know the INside Secret: the Ability to Vanquish
the ENemy is Guarded in the Elusive Department.

Snow:

Love the boat; you defiantly got something here Neri!
