-- Ronin's Comments-

While I found most of this theory intriguing, I must disagree with this
first part. 

Wizards and witches seem to be able to die from natural/accidental causes.
(Though at much later ages than Muggles I suppose) I was under the
impression that Hagrid, was reacting to the idea of;

a.      Harry being lied to about what kind of people his parents were.

b.      Harry not knowing anything about the WW.

c.      Suggesting that the Potters would use such forms of Muggle
transport, rather than apparating, broomsticks, floo powder, portkeys, etc.

d.      That they were to good at magic to have been unable to avoid a
muggle accident.

Nicholas Flamel, died of old age after the stone was destroyed. I remember
other mentions of natural/accidental deaths within the series as well, but
can't place them from memory. I'm thinking it may have been during Sirius's
explanation of the tapestry at 12 Grimauld Place.

I'll have to dig out my copy of SS and have a look at exactly what Hagrid
said and the context to be sure.

 

Harry will be very upset if he has Slytherin blood in his veins!

 

Cheers,

Ronin
