Hi All,

I'm a newbie to the discussion board here, but have been listening in
for about 24 hours.  I haven't had time to read half of what's in here.

Here's two thoughts I'm going to toss out there. 

1. It is no coincidence that Dumbledore's familiar is a phoenix; a
bird that rises from its own ashes after a period of looking hideous.
 Dumbledore looked horrible weeks before his death.  Then we see a
phoenix rise from his funer pyre (note.. its a pyre that they used on
him, not a burial)

2.  Could it be possible that Snape's mother and Tom Riddle not only
knew each other at school (50 years ago), but were intimate and had a
child (perhaps after school and before LV's rise to power).  That
child was Snape.  And Miss Prince went on to marry some muggle- Mr.
Snape after LV scorned her.  Thus making Snape, truly, a half-blood
Prince in more than one sense of the word.

Sorry if those thoughs have already been posted
