(1) Is Umbridge part troll?  <snip>

Tyler:
I seriously doubt it.  A more likely explanation is
that the good-looks fairy simply hasn't been kind to
her.  And let's face it,  she deserves it.

RJ:
(2) How did LV know what was in the Department of
Mysteries? <snip> 

Tyler:
I also thought it was unusual that he knows EXACTLY
how the place looks,  detail for detail.  That just
doesn't seem possible,  regardless of how vivid a
description he may have received from Rookwood. 
Perhaps he's tried breaking into the DoM once before
and was successful?

RJ:
(3) How does the Pensieve work?  The Pensieve doesn't 
store "memories" exactly because Harry sees things
from a third-person point of view, not from Snape's.
<snip>

Tyler:
How's this for a theory?  Perhaps it utilizes some of
the "technology" found in a Time-Turner.  To be more
precise,  perhaps it works this way:  you put a memory
in,  the device analyzes it and determines where/when
it occured.  It then projects itself,  in some sense, 
back in time to see what else was going on within
close proximity of the recorded event.  That way, 
when you play the memory back,  you get a more
objective view of what went on.  
 
RJ:
(4) Snape's worst memory.  Snape put three "thoughts"
into the Pensieve so that Harry couldn't penetrate
them.  Are they all part of one "memory" or are there
two more "memories" we didn't see?

Tyler:
I think there are two more memories,  possibly related
to crimes he committed as a DE.  I hope JKR reveals
the nature of these memories!

RJ:
(5) Did Snape really expect Harry to see his "worst
memory"?  <snip>

Tyler:
Somehow I doubt it.  He seemed WAY too ticked off!

RJ:
(6) Did JKR have Sirius give HP that special mirror
just so that Harry would feel guilty, or is there is
something more?  Will that mirror return in HBP?

Tyler:
I think it was to make him feel guilty,  plus I think
it'll pop up in either book 6 or 7, or both.  It could
become a handy plot device.

RJ:
(7) In DD's exit scene, I noticed that DD didn't have
a particularly high regard for the truth or the law. 
<snip>

Tyler:
I think,  to a degree at least,  DD has an
"ends-justifies-the-means" mentality.  We see it when
he leaves Harry w/ the Dursleys for 10 years in spite
of their abuse.  Its a mental trait we all have as
well,  to some degree.  I think DD is pretty good
about keeping himself from thinking and acting in this
way most of the time.  I think this was just one of
those scenarios where he probably felt he had no other
choice.

Man,  it feels good to be back!  Haven't posted
anything in forever.  I've been really busy these past
couple months,  but I hope to now participate in the
list more often.  :)
