Another interesting theory that I’ve come across recently and it’s to do with Harry as well as the Dursleys is that a probable reason for the Dursleys to behaved so badly towards Harry is because Harry had a horcrux inside him.

Albus Dumbledore was the one who made the connection about Voldemort having made a horcrux after what he heard Harry tell him about what happen in The Chamber of Secrets in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Then later on, in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Albus and Harry realized that Voldemort had made horcruxes.

As Harry was finally successful at retrieving the original untampered memory from Horace Slughorn in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Albus also guessed correctly that Harry had a piece of Voldemort’s soul inside him sometime after it was discovered that Harry could speak and understand parsel tongue.

Although before Harry showed his headmaster the destroyed Tom Riddle’s diary and explained how Fawkes came to him etc…

Harry’s headmaster just thought the reason why Harry could speak and understand parsel tongue which is the language of snakes is because:

Voldemort transferred some of his powers to Harry when Voldemort tried to kill him. As this discovery about Harry was made in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

As Albus Dumbledore told Harry then that speaking and understanding parsel tongue was things that Voldemort could do.

Albus then said to Harry that Voldemort had transferred some of his powers to him (Harry).

Harry also wasn’t aware about this horcrux or horcruxes until Albus Dumbledore started talking to him about horcruxes when Albus was giving Harry private lessons.

As the headmaster knew in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince that there were things about Voldemort and the horcruxes that he knew that Harry needed to know.

Harry’s headmaster had also advised Harry that he should only tell what he had learnt about in his private lessons with him to Ron and Hermione.

As Albus Dumbledore realized that Harry’s two best friends will be helping him as they have done on numerous occasions.

Also, Albus Dumbledore might have had his suspicions about the Dursleys behavior towards Harry. As he and The Order of The Phoenix was aware that the Dursleys treated Harry badly while Harry was in their care.

Though perhaps Dumbledore felt powerless because Harry had to go back to the Dursleys to strengthen his, Mother’s magic.

Although it was revealed that Mrs Figg who was a squib and a neighbor of the Dursleys and Harry’s and she had a way to communicate to Albus Dumbledore.

Also, maybe Albus Dumbledore was doing something about it but at times may had felt that his hands were tied. Then getting back to horcruxes this may be true. As Ron had explained in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows how the horcrux affected him. Dumbledore also told Harry what happen to his hand in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Some theories of fans of the Harry Potter series even had suggested the Dursley’s nasty behavior towards Harry could be unnatural.

Then I think maybe and maybe not. As Lord Voldemort or The Dark Lord was unaware that there was a horcrux inside Harry and that Vernon Dursley and his sister Marge seemed to judge people and Petunia liked to eavesdrop on her neighbors.

Vernon and Petunia were always worried about what their neighbours would think if they found out that Harry was a wizard.

As Vernon and Petunia Dursley didn’t want Harry to go to Hogwarts and they always tried discouraging Harry from asking them any questions.

As Harry asked them how, did he get the scar on his forehead? Vernon and Petunia also lied when they told their nephew that his parents died in a car crash.

Hagrid thought that was a scandal Vernon and Petunia also liked to blame Harry if anything unusual or unexpected happened.

Though Dudley suddenly became nicer to Harry sometime after Harry saved him when a dementor appeared. However, Harry’s Aunt Petunia seemed to be thinking of saying good-bye to Harry when the Dursleys were leaving to go to their safe house.

However, neither his, aunt nor uncle were that emotional, but Dudley asked his, Father as they were leaving why isn’t Harry coming?

I also came across a theory about Aunt Petunia and the theory claims that she had kept the blue blanket that Harry was wrapped in when he was a baby until the day she died.

So, this suggests that she may have felt some grief for Harry? As perhaps they never saw one, another again.

Petunia also wrote a letter to Albus Dumbledore when she was a kid as she wanted to go to Hogwarts too and this had led people to think what if Petunia was a witch.

Though she couldn’t go as she wasn’t able to do magic, but perhaps she got an owl to take the letter she wrote to Albus Dumbledore?

As even though she couldn’t do magic she was aware that there was magic, and a magical world.

Although she pretended that it didn’t exist.

Also, perhaps why Petunia wrote the letter is because she knew how proud her parents were of Lily and the rejection made Petunia call her younger sister a freak.

Then another reason for why Petunia was the way she was with Harry is because she might’ve blamed Harry for things, he had no control of like the deaths of her parents.

The Deputy Headmistress Minerva McGonagall was appalled with the idea that Harry was going to live with the Dursleys. As she didn’t seem to approve of what she saw of Petunia and Dudley.

She also told Albus Dumbledore that the Dursleys wouldn’t understand Harry. Though Albus answered her by saying the Dursleys are the only family he has.

Then why he said that is because Albus Dumbledore might’ve guessed that the reason why Harry didn’t die is because Harry’s Mum had died for him.

He also told Severus Snape that Voldemort could come back. Albus Dumbledore also told Harry much later in the series that Voldemort is aware of this magic and despises it.

He also said to Harry that Voldemort doesn’t understand the power of love and he also said that he (Harry) possesses this power.

Although I think Harry was confused with Albus Dumbledore’s revelation at the time.

There is a theory that Albus Dumbledore may have orchestrated events that occurred in Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix.

However, was, all of the events that happened in that book really what he intended? Or wanted to do?

As maybe it was true that Albus Dumbledore knew that Voldemort would eventually go to The Department of Mysteries after a few failed attempts.

As Albus Dumbledore knew that Cornelieus Fudge had trouble believing that Voldemort had indeed returned. Albus Dumbledore could see that the very thought of Voldemort absolutely petrified Cornelieus Fudge.

Albus Dumbledore also may have wanted to help Fudge see sense, but Fudge proved to be very stubborn.

Though what happened at the department of Mysteries would’ve happened anyway. As not even Albus Dumbledore can control everything or everyone.

However, perhaps Albus did send a message to Cornelieus to meet him at a specific place and Voldemort happened to turn up there too. Then seeing for himself Cornelieus couldn’t dismiss what Dumbledore had been trying to tell him.

Also, as Albus Dumbledore taught Tom Riddle when he was a student at Hogwarts, so he knew how he thought as well as Riddle’s strengths and weaknesses.

So, after a few failed attempts of making others get this prophecy Voldemort went to the Ministry of Magic himself where he dueled with Albus.

Though the prophecy was destroyed as Voldemort managed to trick Harry into thinking that Voldemort had Sirius inside The Department of Mysteries and he was torturing him.

As all Harry knew was that Voldemort wanted something and when he got there to save Sirius, he discovered that his god father wasn’t there at all.

Then in the end the death eaters turned up and Harry must have felt incredibly stupid. As he and his friends had to try and escape the death eaters somehow.

So, Albus Dumbledore wasn’t the only one orchestrating events.

Then the prophecy was smashed sometime after members of The Order of The Phoenix arrived to rescue Harry and the other kids.

Voldemort also for a short time tried to possess Harry hoping to trick Albus but for some reason Voldemort couldn’t endure possessing Harry.

Albus Dumbledore also knew that Voldemort would never try possessing Harry again.

As after he transported Harry back to the headmaster’s office Albus and Harry talked. Harry was upset and angry that Sirius was now dead. Though Lupin and Sirius did try to tell Harry that he needed to close his mind to Voldemort.

Even though it was Professor Snape teaching him.

However, when Harry saw some of Professor Snape’s memories Harry told Professor Snape that didn’t think that those memories, he saw were funny. I also think that even though those lessons with Snape were discontinued in the end that:

The experience of Snape trying to teach Harry occlumency had later on helped Harry begin to see Professor Snape in a different light. This is also probably what Albus Dumbledore had hoped.

Then as Albus Dumbledore and Professor Snape were related. Albus probably wished that he could make Professor Snape see Harry in a different light.

Though another theory that’s about Professor Snape that might have happened in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is that:

When Harry had his very first lesson with Professor Snape that apparently the teacher had sent Harry a coded message.

So, if this was true the coded message would’ve told Harry that he deeply regretted Lily’s death. Albus Dumbledore probably had suggested this to Professor Snape.

Or, as Professor Snape was a clever man, he may have, came up with this idea by himself on how he would tell Harry. As I don’t think that Professor Snape would’ve wanted Harry to hear it from anyone else as Professor Snape told Albus that Harry must not know. However, Harry did find out that Professor Snape was a death eater, and he was quite furious with his headmaster as Harry couldn’t understand why Albus had so much faith in Snape. As Harry really had trouble calling Professor Snape Professor in his school years at Hogwarts.

As instead Harry just called Professor Snape, “Snape” and Albus Dumbledore would remind Harry by saying Professor Snape, Harry.

Though Professor Snape had to be the way he naturally was with Harry as he knew he was protecting him. It also seemed to be a hard year at Hogwarts as Fudge it seemed was a bit deluded and had sent Professor Delores Umbridge to Hogwarts. So, that she could report back to him and make changes.

She also punished Harry as she was giving people incorrect information and Harry was given a “pen” to write lines that was using his blood instead of proper ink.

As she was the type of person that abused her power as she got Harry to write I must not tell lies. Ron and Hermione were horrified when they found out and Hermione told Harry to let Professor McGonagal or the headmaster know about it. Though Harry didn’t want to do that as he thought it was between Umbridge and himself.

He also thought if he did what Hermione suggested that it would only make Umbridge, and the ministry create another decree and he didn’t want that. Besides, Harry also felt angry as well as confused with Albus Dumbledore.

As to Harry it seemed that his headmaster was avoiding him, and at first Harry couldn’t understand why?

Though when Albus Dumbledore thought it was safe to tell Harry, he didn’t hesitate. As they spoke when Harry was in his headmaster’s office.

I have been reading about some of the theories people have been coming up with about the Harry Potter characters. As one theory that I came across and think is absurd is the idea that Hagrid is a secret death eater as Hagrid was very pro Dumbledore.

Hagrid also said that Albus Dumbledore helped him out when Hagrid’s Father died and being a half giant would not have been easy.

As perhaps many witches and wizards held something against giants which is why many giants relocated.

Also, perhaps Albus Dumbledore took it upon himself to find out where the remaining giants relocated to as where they ended up living weren’t as widely known.

Then maybe The Ministry for Magic rounded the giants up and forced them to relocate? As they also forced the Centaurs to live in The Forbidden Forest.

Dumbledore could have known that The Ministry of Magic knew where the remaining giants were. As Albus Dumbledore suggested to Cornelieus that he send envoys to the giants and make peace with them.

As Albus Dumbledore knew that Voldemort was sending some death eaters there. As The Dark Lord wanted to recruit the giants.

Cornelieus refused to do this, and so Albus Dumbledore ended up trying to make peace with the giants himself by sending Hagrid. As perhaps Albus Dumbledore sent Hagrid as he knew that Hagrid had always wanted to see his, Mother again one day.

However, while Hagrid was there, he found out that his, Mother had died. but he had also discovered that he had a younger brother named Grawp.

Hagrid then went to find Grawp as he wasn’t going to leave Grawp behind after he found out that he had a brother.

There is also another theory that Albus Dumbledore repaired Hagrid’s wand and transfigured it into an umbrella as he believed in Hagrid’s innocence.

Some have also come up with the theory that Albus Dumbledore may have continued Hagrid’s education by teaching him advanced spells in secret.

When perhaps not many would’ve.

Albus Dumbledore also decided that he had to make it his mission to find out as much about Tom Riddle as he could.

This realization was probably what made Albus Dumbledore decide to form a group that he led, and the group was called The Order of The Phoenix.

Then why Albus Dumbledore formed this group is because there was a lot of deaths and destruction as Voldemort was causing a lot of mayhem.

Hagrid was also a member of the original Order of The Phoenix. So, maybe Albus really did repair Hagrid’s wand and transfigured it then taught him advanced spells.

Tom Riddle had also told Harry that Albus Dumbledore kept an annoying close eye on him after he framed Hagrid when Harry and Voldemort were talking in The Chamber of Secrets.

As Harry said to Tom you framed Hagrid.

I can also see why Hagrid would want to get involved in a group that was fighting against Voldemort and, his followers too.

Though Dumbledore said to Harry that he didn’t know that Voldemort had created a Horcrux until Harry showed him Tom Riddle’s diary.

As Harry also explained to him what happened when he and Ginny were in The Chamber of Secrets with Tom Riddle.

Albus also told Harry that there are ways that Voldermort can come back in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.

Albus Dumbledore also guessed things that were later on proven true about Harry like Harry’s connection with Voldemort through his lightning bolt scar etc…

However, Albus Dumbledore didn’t tell Harry then what he expected that Voldemort had done until years later when he was giving Harry private lessons.

As why he didn’t say anything to Harry was because Harry was a kid. Albus Dumbledore also wouldn’t want to say anything about Voldemort to Harry until he was certain.

As what Harry had told and showed his headmaster in Harry’s second year probably did, convinced Albus Dumbledore that he needed to have a discussion with Horace Slughorn.

As Horace did give Albus Dumbledore the memory he needed.

Though it was rather obvious to Albus Dumbledore that Horace Slughorn did tamper with the memory Horace gave him.

Hagrid also had an unusual affection for monsters like Aragog the spider and Fluffy the three headed dog and who can forget the dragon Hagrid named Norbet?

As certainly Hagrid would’ve had some unkind experiences with people because some people would’ve known that he was a half giant.

There would’ve been people too that wouldn’t have understood why Hagrid liked creatures that people were usually afraid of.

As perhaps this had led to Hagrid and Aragog becoming friends?

As Aragog was trying to talk Hagrid into helping him leave the castle. However, they were interrupted by Tom Riddle and Aragog had to escape.

While Hagrid ended up being expelled but because of Albus Dumbledore Hagrid was able to stay at Hogwarts.

As Hagrid after being expelled then assisted with then game keeper of Hogwarts. Then years later Hagrid was the game keeper.

Another theory that I don’t think happen is that Hagrid was told by Wormtail where to find Harry, when Harry’s parents were killed, and their house was wrecked.

As Hagrid was in a pub and was in the company of other teachers and Fudge, the then Minister of Magic when he told them that Sirius Black gave him his motorbike. As Hagrid wouldn’t hand Harry over to Sirius so Sirius gave Hagrid his motorbike instead.

Hagrid also didn’t need to be told where to go to find Harry. As the charm was broken when Wormtail told Voldemort.

So, all Hagrid need to do to find Harry was to look for a house that showed signs of severe damage from magic.

As perhaps Hagrid knew from Albus Dumbledore that magic does leave traces.

Also, perhaps the people that are non-magical could see that something bad had happened before it is covered up by witches and wizards.
