A Harry Potter thread to pass the time

I think the scar as a horcrux would be cool in a way, but it just seems like a horcrux takes quite a bit of work to make. I'll do quite a bit of eyerolling if a horcrux just happens accidentally.

I do think that Fawkes reviving Harry is a likely scenario, though. I don't think Dumbledore will be back, as JK has said before that once someone is dead, they're dead. She doesn't want kids thinking their relatives will come back from the dead or anything like that. Also, if Fawkes were going to revive him, he wouldn't have been mourning for so long. They buried a casket, I'm assuming there was a body in it, though that could have been easily switched.

Another thing that makes me think Snape isn't really bad (well, he's not exactly good even if he is loyal to Dumbledore though, is he?) is that Harry's true enemies are really nice to him until they turn on him. Snape has always been mean. In fact, I think it's possible that he doesn't even dislike Harry. I think that maybe he knows all along what he may have to do and if he were close to Harry (as he is Lilly's son, whom I think Snape loved) then Harry wouldn't really believe that he's a Death Eater. Like Mrs. Figg treated Harry poorly so that the Dursleys would let him come over.

I just read the part where Harry asks Snape about the Death Eater thing, so I guess my idea wasn't that original, lol. I had just forgotten that I read it.
