Alla:

And another question, where I found some answers to be especially 
fascinating, if this is true.


5. Which of the following popular historical theories have now been
proven to be TRUE?
Choose the correct THREE
a) The oldest building in diagon Alley is gringotts bank; the other
shops grew up around it.
b) Towards the end of his life Salazar Slytherin reconsiled with the
other founders of Hogwarts School, and retuned to the castle to
Die.
c) The muggle 'war of the roses; began as a dispute between
wizarding neighbors over a fanged geranium
d) The second wife of Henry VIII, and Boleyn was accused by muggles
of being a witch but was actually a squib.
e) A secret task force of wizards and muggles hellped allies to
victory in the second world war.
f) The forbidden forest begain life as a wood planted and tended by
a centaur herd.
g) The great fire of London in 1666 was not, as muggles believe
started by a blaze in a bakery in Pudding Lane, but by a young
Welsh Green Dragon kept in the basement of a house next door.
h) The sorting Hat of Hogwarts was stolen and substitute by a group
of delinquent students in 1325. The were abouts of the real had
remain unknown.
i) upon his death in battle in 1762, goblin rebel Vargot was
discovered to be a renegade house elf
j) the location and name of Hogwarts were chosen by Rowena
Ravenclaw who dreamed that a warty hog was leading her to the
cliff by the lake.


Alla:

Okay, okay, I proceeded with this one thinking that whatever is true 
would be somehow related to what is about to happen in book 7.

I mean, wouldn't it be just like JKR to slip in this 
totally "insignificant" information here?

Like Salasar Slytherin reconciled with others and returned to castle 
to die. **Really?**

Does it mean that reconciliation of the houses will occur and 
symbolic death / abandonment of what he stood for, but return to 
friendship or something?

I also think that Rowena chose Hogwarts will be true as well and 
third one, not sure.

GAH. Need this book now.
