A couple more....
Over at Aby's blog... we have been talking about Percy.. so go check it out! Some good ideas are going around!
Daughter2 was re-reading PoA this weekend, and has raised soooooo many questions about Remus now, that I am going to have to think about adding him to my 'evil' list. But even with all the questions, it still sounds like he is just a self-centered opportunist, rather than out-and-out evil guy. Sort of how Umbridge was evil, but not a Death Eater. Remus isn't great.. but not evil.
I hold with evil Minnie McG... I tell you.... and now I am seeing links to the whole Percy thing..
Percy uses Hermes as his messanger to Penelope. That is one thing. Then, Hermes helps Athena (Minerva) help Percy kill Medusa. Medusa was the rival of Athena. If Athena is like Minerva.. then who might be Minerva's rival? I don't have a lot of support for this right now, but I will probably be looking for it over the next few days, but I think Hermione is the rival of Minerva. My biggest pointer is page 172, of GoF. Minerva grabs Hermione by the neck, ostensibly to save her from falling, but hurting her enough that she rubs her sore neck.
Why would that be in the story, if it wasn't important? Why the neck? That's silly. Why not say she grabbed her arm to keep her from falling. I don't think I've grabbed anyone by the neck to help them.... so I think this is a pointer to something.
Also, Hermione is tied to Penelope, as in CoS, they were petrified at the same time... together.
And Aby asks a good question.. what is the tunnel on the fourth floor that has been blocked since CoS? hmmm??? Was it Percy???
Or Ginny?????
