Discussion: Posr conflict Potter

[oryx_leucoryx]

I was sent this link today: Post-Conflict Potter. There are some good ideas, some bad ideas and some evidence that the author is less well-versed in the Potterverse than us (thousands of DEs? where were they? maybe in the movie). Also at least one of the more detailed comments is worth consideration.

I thought some here might want to discuss, tweak, adapt or otherwise respond.

But the important point is - I agree that getting rid of Tom without seriously revamping wizarding Britain won't do much, so I'm glad someone put thought in this direction and made such thoughts public.

GOF Chapter 33: The Death Eaters

Voldemort enjoys having his new body. Doesn't care much about Peter, though. Peter who was thoughtful enough to place the wand with which he killed Cedric into the robes he prepared for Tom. Possibly while Harry was not looking due to scar-pain. Tom's first use of his wand in his new body is to levitate Peter and drop him. Peter is begging for something Tom had promised him (perhaps that he would heal his arm afterwards?), but Tom has other priorities - he wants to see Peter's other arm, the left one, with the Mark. (Do we know if Peter is left handed? Because twice he mutilated his right one.) The Mark is back now, vivid and red. I think we are meant to understand Peter had it since before Godric's Hollow, though we don't know how long before. Since I still think pre-GH!Tom still had most of his marbles I tend to think Peter got Marked in the last week of the war, possibly as a reward for bringing Tom the Secret of the Potters' location (because Tom's favorite manner of rewarding loyal servants is to give them more opportunities to risk their lives for his causes).

*The following conversation actually takes place after a discourse about the rules of Quidditch. Quite frankly, Rowling takes “Previously on Harry Potter” too far even at this stage (don’t know if or when she ever lets up). You would think that after a certain point she would just assume that everyone had read the first several books and knew what was going on, so she could plunge into the action.
