Tonks:

The dictonary says this about the Fates and the Furies:

1.	Furies Greek & Roman Mythology. The three terrible winged 
goddesses with serpentine hair, Alecto, Megaera, and Tisiphone, who 
pursue and punish doers of unavenged crimes. 

1.	Fates: 
a.	The supposed force, principle, or power that predetermines 
events. 
b.	The inevitable events predestined by this force. 
2.	A final result or consequence; an outcome. 
3.	Unfavorable destiny; doom. 
4.	Fates Greek & Roman Mythology. The three goddesses, Clotho, 
Lachesis, and Atropos, who control human destiny. Used with the. 

 
[Middle English, from Old French fat, from Latin f tum, prophecy, 
doom, from neuter past participle of f r , to speak. See bh -2 in 
Indo-European Roots.]

The part about punishing doers of unavenged crimes bring to mind the 
unavenged crimes of the murder of the Potters. And the fates 
mentions "prophecy". Sounds like the way that LV will get his just 
due. ????
