Ok sorry but this has been on my mind for a long time and I just have
to let it out. I am in a class right now that deals with the elements
of Classical mythology and literautre the Rowling has brilliantly used
in her books. On like the first day of class we were talking about
namesakes and we had to read about where Lucius Malfoy's name came
from. There is a figure in Roman history named Lucius Junius Brutus.
This character pretended in essence to be and idiot so that he could
escape the fate of his brothers. He was therefore not suspected. Now
this to me sounds exactly like when Lucius claimed to be under the
Imperious curse so that he could get off on all charges. (his money
didnt hurt) Well this Lucius guy goes on to become the first Consulate
of Rome and he is known for his very strict rule. Now heres the
clincher. He murdered his own sons because they were fighting agaisnt
him with the OTHER SIDE. So I firmly believe that Rowling got the name
from here and I fimly believe that Dumbleodre got to Draco and he is
going to be killed by his father for trying to help Harry in some
way.If anyone has any thoughts for or agaisnt this I would love to
hear them.
