DID YOU EVER WONDER WHY?
J K Rowling owns all the rights to the books and the amazing characters she created. I write only to satisfy my imagination and use my creativity and make no money from my writings.
This isn't a story, just some musings I have about why certain things happened or were allowed to happen. I know that wizards (especially Pure-bloods) aren't logical or have much common sense, but some things go against all good judgment.
The Marauders and their animagus forms. I recently wrote a story regarding this – Do The Research – so you will have to read that.
Malfoy just happening to bring Dobby to Hogwarts with him, then being stupid enough to try to AK Harry in the school near Dumbles' own office.
Why did Lucius Malfoy, he of the great wealth and dark power, who probably had a home(s) of his own outside of Britain or at least some friends or relatives living abroad, take those dark objects to Borgin and Burkes to sell? Considering one of them was something the Dark Lord entrusted to him which would scream KEEP THIS SAFE to even Crabbe & Goyle, why didn't Lucius takes these dark things out of the country or, fool the likes of Arthur Weasley, and put them in a Muggle bank or a Muggle house with curses on them until such time that they were needed?
The Dursleys dressing Harry in Dudley's own rags, showing him doing all kinds of outside work in the heat, rain, snow, etc., and the teachers, police and neighbors never noticing. If they did notice, why did they believe Petunia saying he wore Duddikins' old clothes because he ruined anything new or was just uncaring about what he looked like, etc. This just reeks of Dumbledore casting charms, hexing, cursing and whatever so that people would not to notice the clothes and the work as:
Children, especially young ones, do not choose their own clothes, adults do. No reasonable adult would allow a child, no matter how destructive, to dress like Harry had to dress.
Again, a very young child wouldn't be mowing the lawn or washing the car and doing major gardening work for all to see.
How could teachers ignore the fact that Dudley was a bully? Even if the teachers didn't witness the bullying, especially of Harry, the other children knew and could have told the teachers on the sly or at least their parents because Dudley and his gang were terrorizing all of the kids as well as threatening them to keep away from the FREAK.
Didn't the teachers notice Harry bruised, beaten and/or bleeding after recess or lunch?
If the neighbors were so nosy, how did they not notice what was happening to Harry? Also, how did they not hear Vernon yelling, Dudley yelling or whining and the occasional scream from Harry? They should have noticed Harry sweating under the broiling heat in summer and not having a decent coat for the winter or a raincoat or umbrella.
These things further confirm that it just wasn't the Dursleys badmouthing Harry SOMEONE had to be meddling and doing damage control.
Several people, such as Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape and others grew up in the Muggle World! McG's father was a minister for God (and not Merlin's) sake. It seems like somehow they "forgot" some basic things concerning the Muggle World, such as how to dress as a Muggle, sports, and the dropping of an atomic bomb or landing on the moon.
Surely Dean Thomas and Justin F-F and other Muggleborns would tell their school mates about these things and show them proof of such things happening.
It seems like there is an unwritten law that a Muggleborn or Half-Blood must completely forget about anything positive about Muggles, not bring in books or play football, etc. What is stopping Dean, Justin and others from bringing a ball and kicking it around or doing exercising, running, playing a Muggle board game or cards?
This seems like a plot to de-Muggle people and demean any progress such as TV, computers, etc. I find this extremely counterproductive.
I will be updating as I remember things. Feel free to mention anything that bugs you about the Magical World or Hogwarts.
