Ahem.
JK RowlingI am not going to say they're delusional! They are still valued members of my readership! I am not going to use the word delusional. I am however, going to say - now I am trusting both of you to do the spoiler thing when you write this up -
[More laughter]
JKR: I will say, that yes, I personally feel - well it's going to be clear once people have read Book 6. I mean, that's it. It's done, isn't it? We know. Yes, we do now know that it's Ron and Hermione. I do feel that I have dropped heavy hints. ANVIL-sized, actually, hints, prior to this point. I certainly think even if subtle clues hadn't been picked up by the end of Azkaban, that by the time we hit Krum in Goblet...
<snip>
I want to make it clear that delusional is your word and not mine!
<snip>
JKR: Well I think anyone who is still shipping Harry/Hermione after this book -
(Emerson whispers : Delusional!)
JKE: Uh - no. But they need to go back and re-read, I think.
I think that about settles it. 🙂 🙂

At JK's reading of Harry, Carrie, and Garp, Salman Rushdie and his son were there. They asked an exceedingly convoluted question (in proper Salman Rushdie style) that basically boiled down to Snape is/was good at the base of his being. It took a long time for me to figure that out of the transcripts, believe me. Well, so the two of them basically stated this long convoluted theory and then asked, "Is this right?" and JK simply said, "Yes."
Do you have a link to that transcript? Sounds interesting; I'd like to check it out.

Ok, I just briefly brush over all of this and this stood out to me. I totally agree with you here. So many people say no, it wont happen, JKR said she isn't a squib. BUT, JKR did say some people can do magic late in their life, though it is rare. So I believe it can happen.
According to JK Rowling's web page petunia is 100% muggle, so I don't think she's going to start doing magic out of nowere

I think we need a change of direction here.Let's talk about Lily and Snape. I think there is a connection between the two. I would even go as far as to say that Snape and Lily are related. Maybe brother and sister or something. The books never tell us why Snape turned good. What if he turned good when he learned of the Dark Lord's plan to kill the Potters? What if Snape blaims James for Lily's death, and he sees so much of James in Harry and hates him for it?
Someone had to tell the Order about the Dark Lord's plan, so maybe it was Snape having a change of heart when it came to the death of his sister.
Tell me what you think.
It's very unlikely that they're related because Lily was muggle-born. What I think is that Snape secretly loved Lily because she was the only person who ever treated him nicely. She always stood up for him at school, so he felt guilty of her death and thats what he confessed to Dumbledore. Dumbledore probably offered him a place in the Order, sort of how he did to Draco and Snape accepted.
u no what I think that I haven't seen suggested yet? that Harry Potter is the decendent of Godric Gryffindor. It would fit very well, Voldemort being the last decendent of Slytherin and all. Its like the ancient fuid all over again, and it would explain why Voldemort found Harry a bigger threat then Neville in the first place.

I'll check around for you. I had to clean out my favorites list a long while ago because they were getting so dusty -- ahem ahem. 🙂 🙂
Have you checked the site "Accio Quote?" Try that in a google search, and then type in "Harry, Carrie, and Garp." I think that's your best bet. I'll do a little searching myself.
"Accio Quote," for all those generally interested, is an amazing site where you can find JKR quotations on anything and everything she's ever said. Really. They're like stalkers over there.
😄
And goddess_susu - JK has debunked the "Harry as Gryffindor's descendant" theory already. Although I thought it myself for a time. I'm not certain, but I think I remember her debunking the "Dumbledore as Gryffindor's descendant" theory as well. I'll have to check up on that.
Also, I think that Snape had some sort of relationship with Lily, but I think it was totally platonic, or unrequited on Snape's part. Either way, I think Snape admired/liked Lily a great deal. However, there is no way they were related. Snape is a halfblood, and Lily is a muggleborn. These are canon facts.
Originally posted by pip_appleNo on the first part because it has been debunked a long time ago. No on the second part because it just doesn't work out.
mine and my freinds' theory is:
that harry realises he is godric's great great grandson [not sure about how many "great"s but yeah]
and that he is the last horcrux
and so has to end up killing himself along with all the other horcruxes and voldemort himself
😉
watya think?
My turn to say something crazy. And I suppose I'll bring up what you said Siriuswriter-mun. I felt Snape and Lily did have somewhat of a relationship (relationship does not always mean dating). That could be the thing we didn't know about Lily that JKR was talking about. And the eyes of Harry. I had this more thought out a couple of days ago but I fell asleep and forgot it as usual. -.- But Harry's eyes may change something in Snape possible if he turns into a baddie. Ya know? o.o Showing the importance of why people keep bringing up Harry has Lily's eyes or something... Like I said, this was thought out better a couple of days ago. I should have posted it then before I fell asleep.
The Phantom - So you're sort of saying that Harry's eyes could be the thing that bring Snape back from the brink of a badiness attack because they remind him of Lily? I think that's what I gathered... 🙂
*does a happy dance because I now have "mun" added to my name. at least, I think that's a good thing...*

I've decided I'd use it for people now. Well, I used it for yours mostly because it gets confusing with you know. Harry Potter forum. Sirius. Yea. Mun just means the person behind the username more or less.

Damn. And I thought I had finally earned my "wise person" title.

..but anyways, I agree with your prediction. He's going to remember her and want to revenge her death.
Going even deeper, I think Snape was there when it happened. When J.K. Rowling was asked about it she just avoided the subject
"MA: Was there anyone else present in Godric's Hollow the night Harry's parents were killed?
J.K.R.: No comment"
Is it possible that Percy could be a deatheater. I mean, like in the sixth or fifth book, he was so against Harry, and warning Ron to stay away from him. Is it possible that he knew what was happening and wanted to keep his brother from harm. Remember, when he sent that letter to Ron to stay away from Harry because he didn't want him to get in any trouble. I mean, it could be logical! What do you guys think?
If anyone already brought this up, I'm sorry. You see, I was reading this fan fic story about H/Hr on harrypotterfanfiction.com, and in the story, Percy was a deatheater and he was begging the dark lord for mercy on his family. I just thought I'd ask you guys.
Anyway, what do you think?
