I can't remember what the Twins were doing with their store. Did they say anything? Because they essentially made weaponry. You'd think they'd be far more in demand than even the wandmaker.
LOL--so in the story do they assume that Hagrid's really uncovered the plot about the Quidditch team?
To be fair, many parents withdrew their kids in the end of this year, but were forced by V's orders to send them back in DH. Otherwise, they would have to go into the hiding.
And yet it doesn't even seem that difficult, what with Ginny not going back after Easter and Ron staying out of school with that ghoul plan. It's just you'd think that trying to make Wizards do things should be like herding cats the way they'er all quirky and individualistic and can do magic. Yet they're surprisingly easy to control.
Right, there were no investigations whatsoever in HBP so why would Snape have to appear to be doing them? And why would Dumbledore say that to him in private? I assumed that what he really meant by "investigations" was Snape watching Draco to head off whatever thing he was going to do next, but it's an odd way to refer to it when they're alone.
Did Harry revolutionized Auror department by going after people without evidence of them being guilty to use in court? That was done before too. I guess the difference is Harry's superior instinctive knowledge who's guilty.
Probably that's how it works. Which isn't a problem if Harry has supervision who make sure he has evidence--like in Maya's fic Drop Dead Gorgeous it's Kingsley who's in charge. He says both Harry and Draco have a habit of zeroing in on one suspect. But the thing is, one of them is always right. So if both of them agree he'll assume they're onto something.
