I got to thinking about Voldemort's recruitment ideas, and immediately thought... doom, vampire, various evil creatures... all that jazz...
What about boggarts? Are they controlled by someone that rules over them? do they have brains? Are they simply feeding off the brains of those they bring fear to? How exactly do they know what a certain person fears?
So, if they are mindless, why dosen't Voldemort just take them onto the dark side? I need to ponder this one some more though...
"Stupid way to die"
If someone huge dies in the 6th book, i hope they don't die stupidly. here are some stupid things that could happen:
Voldemort gets overthrown by evil bunnies, and feed him to the mutant fuzzy slippers.
Dumbledore falls off a cliff, breaks his neck, and his wand. Not realizing that his wand is broken, he tries to repair his neck with it, but blue flames erupt from the wand, burning him to death.
"Forum Q"
This came up in the forum that i belong to.
"I thought that nobody (not even dumbledore) knew about sirius, james and peter being animagi. right?
but when sirius accompanies harry to the train station, he is spotted by lucious. how did lucious know?"
I think that either Sirius told Dumbledore, and they were being spied on, or when the Trio were talking about him, they did not think about the paintings that could be listening. Are they reliable? could they have told a DE that told Voldie? it is possible... very possible. Vooldemort could've recruited paintings too! Maybe Mrs. Black communicated with the DE's. Or maybe Kreacher had something to do with it, (cuz God knows he always does).
