CHAPTER 7 HARRY POTTER
Harry growed up with muggles. Muggles are non magickal peoples. He should have been raised by his parents but that was impossible due to his parents died. They were talented sorcerers who were nevertheless killed in cold blood by Tom Felton, a muggle actor.
You may find it strange that an actor killed the Potters. But consider that none other than Abraham Lincoln was killed by a actor, John Wilkes Booth. It is true that Booth was an actor of the stage and not the screen. However, back then there were no TV and movies, so probably today he would be a screen star. If not, he could still be a theater star which might mean nothing to people who don't go to see stage shows but would be impressive to the cultured people who do.
We could list other actors who have murdered victims but we will stop here in the interests of time. It is important to stay with the timeline because of the complexities inherent in Harry Potter. For example, there are many characters. And another thing, there are a great many relationships between them. The dynamics of relationships are hard to portray in a short novel, but we will endeavor to faithfully describe it all!
It's just that actors are no better or worse than anyone else. So the fact that there are some murderers among them should not be held against them as a lot. There are good and bad people in all professions including teaching, law enforcement, cricket and money laundering.
Tom appeared as Lord Voldemort that day, causing others to think that Voldemort was the killer. The reasons why Tom killed Harry's parents, James and Lily, are unknown. There is speculation even to this day but nothing concrete. Perhaps some day Mr. Felton will come off his high horse and explain his self in an interview or something. Till then we will have to be satisfied with not knowing anything.
Hermione had not yet learned about Tom's duplicity!
The muggles treated Harry badly but Harry liked it because he had masochistic tendencies to which he did not publicly admit. Harry attended muggle school and was good at math but not history. He had no siblings other than a pet owl called Hedwig. The muggles what raised him were the Dudleys, including Dursley Dudley, a heavy boy.
There is a lot more to say about Harry Potter in his youth. But we will have to leave it at that for now. We will limit our comments to one other fact: He was good at math problems but had trouble in history class because essays were not his thing. He was not good at writing. But he could do a lot of impressive things with numbers, which is to say that math came easy to him. He was, in fact, good at mathematics. He was a mathematical genius not unlike Descartes, Euclid or the Unabomber.
A few other notes: Harry wore glasses. Harry had a scar. Harry loved monkeys of all sorts but not apes. He did not like history. He liked math. He was the President of the Herdwick Sheep Breeders Association, a position he inherited. The Slytherins did not like him because they considered him to be full of bluster like the god of wind or a windbag.
I should also note that Harry's great great grandmother, Beatrix Potter, is still alife. Although muggle records show she died in 1943, that was actually when she was placed in a witness protection program by the muggle FBI. She is over 150 years old and still enjoys smooth jazz, recorded lectures and American football, although she suffers from a debilitating case of leporiphobia.
Harry went to see Ron to demand the return of his house elf. It wasn't so much that Harry missed the elf now. It was more the principle that Ron had stolen his property.
