I have theories on the AIP
1) Harry had read about the
Hobson’s Paradigm in chapter one, which concerned the temporal shift. so either
a. someone else had considered time traveling in this way to be a possibility but
highly unlikely to do so.
b. Someone had already accomplished this and wrote about it, therefore planting
clues on what to do, but not outright stating it. (think canon dumbledore)
c. the AIP done this planting it where harry may eventually find it thus insuring a
victory to the dark lord if something in harry's past goes awry.
d. hermione foresaw planted this so that harry would find it. In this case she
may be helping him to correct mistakes or she may be betraying him all
along. this is the least likley theory on this point.
2) The sorting hat horcrux.
a. in DH after waring the locket for extended periods of time Ron is
affected adversely by it. If the same rules apply to the sorting hat
then Dumbledore may be affected as well by talking to it for an
an extended period of time.
b. The diary affects Ginny to a far worse extent than the locket does ron
even in both timelines. Case in point on this one is that Dumbledore
talked to the sorting hat about his fears concerning harry. Thus
becoming too emotionally involved.
c. This particular horcrux has specific knowledge concerning harry and
and his secrets. It may have told someone who was sorted after harry
who/whose family works in the best interests of the dark lord,
even though it said it would not. You cannot really trust a horcrux can
you?
Case in point AIP is either Dumbledore not aware of his doings
Hermione betraying harry
some slytherin after he was sorted
Zambini
harper a year younger
Vaisey (who could be younger but not sure what year he's in
Urqhuart(same as above)
others include
Dean thomas
Seamus Finnegan (these 2 arent as close to harry this time around, cant forget pettegrew was a lion too)
Eventhough most think the AIP is male I have a hunch it is female only one real clear one is a Ravenclaw
Penelope Clearwater
a. she is close to percy
b. she is stated as being as clever as percy
c. being with percy she is probably as much a bint as percy is a git
d. percy probably made it clear he did not trust harry
e. She probably knew that that the Diggory's were not granted guardianship over harry
someone could have attacked harry away from hogwarts easier if the diggory's or the
malfoy's had been granted guardianship.
f. she could have been paying close attention to cedric and who he adored and who he
loathed. Thus making note of Cho.
g. She could have attacked Cho as punishment to cedric, because his parents did not gain
guardian ship.
h. she is a prefect and could have been in the hall when harry was petrified
i. she was a 6th year at that time (non verbal is learned in that year)
Dumbledore cast the body bind in HBP
