What's Mr. Ollivander's story, and is there a reason he gives Harry the creeps?
Maybe he's just a creepy old man?
What 'old school friends' of Harry's parents did Hagrid send owls to asking for pictures, if most of said friends are dead/in prison/ect? (Remus Lupin is probably one, but Hagrid said "friends", plural.)
I'm sure they had more friends than just the Marauders. ;)
Are the moving portraits really sentiant, or do they just mimic it really well?
From thinking about what that kid who followed Harry around all the time in Book 2 (was it Justin or Colin?) about how the photos are developed with magical something or other, I think they just mimic. Otherwise that'd be like, cloning, or something. ;)
Does Hagrid know Tom Riddle is Voldemort?
I can't say for sure, but I get this vague impression that a lot of people don't know.
Does Voldemort remember Ginny?
Why would he? The "Voldemort" that Ginny met in the Chamber wasn't the real Voldemort, but more like a memory left behind and animated by magic.
How did Filch end up confiscating the Marauders' Map?
Found it, randomly?
Why was Lupin watching the Marauders' Map the night Harry and co went down to visit Hagrid? (Looking out for Sirius in case he attacked, maybe?)
Maybe he wanted to see if Peter showed up on it again.
How are they so sure the map doesn't lie?
The Marauders created it, they know exactly what it does and whether it would lie or not.
Why did Peter turn traitor in the first place?
I get the impression that Voldemort tortured him. Plus he doesn't seem all too loyal, so he'd probly turn traitor on Voldie if some other Dark Lord popped up and scared the spit out of him.
How did Crookshanks "talk" to Sirius?
Animals alls speak the same language, you know. ;)
Do the Weasleys ever wonder where Ron got Pigwidgeon?
Does Ron not tell them? I need to go back and read the books but they're all packed away.
Is Narcissa Malfoy a DE?
Pretty sure I've read she is, but I might be thinking of fic.
Why are they called DEs?
It's scary-sounding?
Why did Snape join them?
He was interested in the Dark Arts when he was younger. Probably thought Voldie had a good idea.
How did Mad-Eye Moody lose his leg?
All a part of being an Auror, I guess.
What happened to Wormtail's wand?
Probly blown to bits when he faked his death.
What was the meaning of Dumbledore's Howler to Petunia? ('Remember my last' is a fragmented sentence, and cryptic besides. Maybe he's channeling Kosh from B5?)
Remember my last message? Didn't he send her a message of some sort when he left Harry there?
Can everyone who went to the DoM, who had never seen death before, now see thestrals?
Well, they saw death didn't they?
Who taught Snape Occulmency? (Dumbledore?)
He seems the type to have researched it.
That's all I've got for now. I'm not much help since it's been a while since I've read the books.
