hye everyone,
i dont know whether my question have been discussed or asked before,,but you guys just have a thought about it and share your opinions alright? im sure evryone noticed that (i wasn't sure when) DD had mentioned that he read about the death of Frank Bryce,the gardener of Riddle's mansion,(in Muggle newspaper)and seemed quite suspicious about the issues. but the thing is,why DD himself never go and investigate the mansion given that his business all the time is to find and kill voldemort,? plus,,voldemort was very weak at that time,and of course if DD when to investigate,found voldy and his gang and immediately destroyed him when he heard about the rumour..wasn't it a simple happy ending? no,,it just, i think it was an insult to DD when obviously,he missed this crucial point and let the worse became worst.or was there a reason for this lack of action?

I think it might have been later, that Dumbledore connected Franks deaths with the other incidents that were taking place. Also, I believe Voldemort had moved to Crouch Snr place, to free Juniour, by that time.

Actually it would be risky for Dumbledore to investigate and wouldn't tell him much he didn't already suspect in any case. The risk is that he reveals to Voldemort how much he knows about Riddle's past, and how much he currently suspects. It is also likely that Voldemort moved or took steps to conceal himself in the aftermath of Frank Bryce's death in case any muggles or wizards came to investigate - the muggle police would almost certainly have searched the Riddle House for example.

If DD was taking into the equation, that LV had made horcruxes - and that Harry and LV was connected by LV's actions making Harry a "nearly"-crux, then DD would have been sure, that it would not have meant an ending to LV to go to the mansion and kill LV! Hope it makes sense? DD always said he was only guessing, but he also showed, that he was acting according to his own guesses! -------------------- |

yeah the-t-dane,,it quite makes sense,,
i juz hope that if DD actually knew or suspect the whereabout of LV in the first part of book 4,,he might be suspect sumthing about their plan or relate sumthing to junior crouch and prevent the portkey tragedy from happening,,(the brilliant plan for Harry Potter in the triwizard tournament,) or maybe just keep the weak LV frm become 'almost human' you know,,not necessarily kill him until all the horcruxes finally destroyed,or maybe just keep an eye on that place..any thousand brilliant plans that can quickly cropped up in DD's head,,! |

I quite agree with you on the latter. The only explanation to me, when I thought about the same predicament and still wanting DD to stay wise and kind (to me - like a grandfather! I need him to be the good guy  ), is that if LV was a truly gifted wizard, he would have known if DD showed up in the neighbourhood to spy on things. I got that idea from the time when DD and Harry was apparating to the place Slughorn lived, and DD explained to Harry why they had to "land" (disapparate - or is it the other way around?) so far from the place, and even then, Slughorn was well aware of their presence anyway.The thing I have wondered about is DD's way of handling things, and I believe I saw a thread somewhere about that, but I haven't been able to find it lately - mainly due to lack of time! -------------------- |

Any plan to kill Voldemort by anyone other than Harry would fail. The prophecy states that Harry is the key to defeating Voldemort.

Also remember Harry had that piece of soul within him. Could only Voldy hit him with the AK, to get rid of it?

Apparently. From Chapter 33 of DH - (SS): "So the boy ... the boy must die?" (DD): "And Voldemort himself must do it, Severus. That is essential." This post has been edited by Laura W: Jun 17 2008, 01:09 PM |
