>> Amelia Bones' death was a piece in a much bigger picture. One that 
included Hepizbah Smith and James Potter as having pure blood lines 
from the founders of Hogwarts.

His search for other wizarding heirs may be a motive for kidnapping 
of Florean Fortescue (HBP 6), provider of ice-cream sundaes and  
ADVICE ABOUT MEDIEVAL WITCHCRAFT to Harry (POA 4). He may be reknown 
a history expert and easier to grab than Professor Binns (not only 
because he is in Hogwarts, but also because it is hard to grab a 
ghost). (Lexicon also says a Fortescue was a past Headmaster of 
Hogwarts - OOP 27)

I think LV is not on a quest that started from Tom Riddle, but a Dark 
Wizard quest inherited through the ages. I have some rough ideas it 
may extend back as far as Salazar Slytherin himself. (The Basilisk 
may not have been the only thing of SS locked in the Chamber of 
Secrets for centuries, known only in rumours to even Professor Binns.)

It was the 3 other founders unity in accepting Muggle-born to study 
at Hogwarts that drove Slytherin away. With those heirs gone, 
Salazar's heir can try to reclaim the school for pure bloods. <<


AnnR:
This is the first time I have heard this theory re the founders and 
Amelia Bones' death.  Is there any canon to say that Amelia was a 
Ravenclaw?  Is Hepzibah Smith a Hufflepuff, I can't remember, or is 
it the other way around?  I know James was Gryffindor.  I like the 
idea of the dark wizard theory being passed through the ages before 
Tom Riddle.  Does anyone else think the same as aussie?
