Yes, I do love to travel. And no, it is not why I'm
jumping into every available ship. It's just that I
find ELKIN (if it is obvious where the acronym comes
from then I am completely oblivious to obvious
reasons). I don't believe it is true, but it makes the
most sense as a plot twist, and the arguments
supporting it. are quite convincing.

She does hate Umbridge, that's for sure. If this
theory is true, perhaps our least favorite Dolores was
actually right when she said Minerva is quite fond of
power?

Yes, this makes sense too. One more point that might
be relevant to ELKIN is Hagrid's remark in the first
book. I quote from memory: That's why (Dumbledore - my
note) didn't even try to take over Hogwarts. At least
not then.

So, did Voldemort try it at another time? This might
tie well with McGo declaration that she started at
Hogwarts 39 years (or similar) this December (or
similar). Therefore she started during the academic
year, which is not the most common circumstance. It
has been speculated on HPANA that Voldemort had killed
Dippet during the year, therefore Dumbledore was
forced to take over, leaving the Transfiguration chair
free for Minerva. This might round up the information
we have on her - quite a lot and quite dispersed
actually not to be important. I also think that there
was an item, perhaps a cup, in the trophy room with
the McGo name on it. Minerva is also close in age with
Voldemort, they were possibly together at school (and
with Hagrid too, which might be an extra reason why
she jumped to help him). Perhaps Minerva is not evil
as such, but could it be that she has her own agenda
against (or even for) Voldemort? Was she in love with
him? Unlikely, although as a teenager he was
attractive. We know how much Minerva enjoys Quiddich
and how ambitious she is for her house to win the Cup,
was there between her and Tom a sporting rivalry of
any kind? Is Voldemort even good at flying, or was he
ever good at it? Was the McGo-Riddle relationship a
Harry-Ginny, Harry-Cho, Harry-Hermione, or
Draco-Hermione relationship?

Pondering (but not quite),
