Harry Potter talk! Wheee!enid_coleslawJuly 8 2004, 14:30:42 UTC
I think you're onto something with Petunia. I don't know if I'd follow it all the way to Dudley being the HBP because there are just so many half-blood characters, but it's definitely interesting.
If Petunia is from a full-blood family instead of Muggles where one adept popped up, that would still make Dudley half-blood, magical talent or not.
The problem with the whole Petunia theory, though-- Harry encounters a lot of people at Hogwarts who knew his parents. Why wouldn't they tell him, or even think not to tell him?
And can I just say I feel really weird using the term "half-blood"? It's like I'm saying "Negro" or something . . . it's not exactly bad in and of itself, but it has enough bad things tied to it to make me really uncomfortable. LOL
