Reader Comments: (Page 73)

There seems to be some doubt as to whether Snape got a portrait in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts. However, I can't believe, seeing as how Harry feels about Snape and how he named his child after him, that there aren't others in the Wizarding world who would feel the same way too, so there's got to be a portrait of Snape around somewhere...

the veil--although the 7th book does not specifically talk about the veil, i think the 5th movie does a good job of clearing up some of the ambiguity. i know that the movies are not cannon, but consider this: in the movie (for those who have note seen it, warning that this is a spoiler)-- sirius's is by bellatrix by way of the AK curse, THEN sirius falls behind the veil, in the sort of way that he is floating through it as if moving on to the afterlife. so is it safe to say that the veil is some sort of entry to the "beyond"? i think so. true, the movies are not cannon, but they also have not been seriously misleading.

TO MOA from Varberg:

i disagree that ron was the one who performed magic and wasn't supposed to. first, he is a wizard! so of course he has been doing magic:) second, in the book, he says that all he did was imitate the sound he heard harry say when harry opened the locket. therefore, ron didn't ACTUALLY use parseltongue--remember, he still wouldn't be able to understand it.

Also, J.K. has now commented in interviews that the she has said that in an interview many years ago, and had intended to work someone like that into the story, but never worked it out properly and dropped the idea. So, there is no one in the book that did magic later in life.

why did the elder wand work for voldy when he ed snape...?

Posted by Erick from Ohio on August 8, 2007 12:02 AM

The elder wand functioned for Voldemort as normal wand just fine. It just wasn't the ultimately powerful elder wand for him.

"Albus Severus, you where named for two headmasters of hogwarts. One of them was a slytherin and he was probably the bravest man i ever knew."

That's the most beautiful sentence in all series. I LOVE that book! Thank You, JKR!

One thing though: how did Regulus know the locket was a Horcrux (he told Kreacher to destroy it ASAP)? As far as we know, Dumbledore was the only one who knew, no one else could have suspected, so I think Regulus may have been playing a double role, like Snape.

Awais: Good question. how did Regulus discover the locket was a horcrux? I was wondering the same. It would be a great question for JK.

My thoughts: when Regulus was still around, it is possible that information about horcruxes was easier to come by. As a Slytherin, it seems likely that RAB had access to people who would know about this very dark art. He may have also pieced together clues from Voldy and other Eaters, such as his cousin, Bellatrix. His defection from the DE's indicates that he was more of a critical thinker than the rest of the DE's and, unlike most of them, he appears to have valued his family above Voldy. After learning of Kreacher's experience, it seems that he would come to the conclusion that this locket represented something evil and destructive toward what he valued most: his family. Most likely he didn't know exactly what the locket was, but because and were involved in its creation and protection that was enough to turn him against Voldy.
