Mine is coming soon, really! *laments at crapness of self*
You'd think if she cared so much, she could have stopped her teenage kids from acting like toddlers in the presence of their father's boss, eh?
You'd think. Apparently, though, there is only one way to act in front of a boss that is obviously No Good. See also: the beginning of CoS. We all know Dobby did that one, but Vernon was clearly in the wrong for getting angry about it.
Wouldn't it be funny if Lucius was once like Percy – the oddball in a huge Pureblood family who broke out and re-invented himself
It'd have to be quite an extensive re-invention, considering that Draco seems to have a rather different view of his family. But yeah, that could be interesting in itself. Everything Lucius has told everyone about himself is a lie. Mind you, canon'd balls that up by having this be Proof that Lucius isn't to be trusted, rather than exploring his reasons for it.
Dumbledore never discusses the orphanage incidents with the staff or previous headmaster, wanting "to give him that chance" to start fresh.
In other words, leave him alone and act surprised when that doesn't quite work out for the best. My, how could we have foreseen that the childrearing equivalent of "LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!" wouldn't produce the best results?
Either Dumbledore ISN'T as powerful as he claims to be, or there's a connection between him & Tom that he's not discussing. Hmmm...
:O I am suddenly imagining a situation in which Voldemort actually isn't the only descendant of Salazar Slytherin's that Harry's met (I was going to say "still living", but, er...). After all, Salazar Slytherin lived a thousand years ago, he must have hundreds of descendants floating about, inbreeding or no. Perhaps this is how Dumbledore knew all about the cousin-marrying and such. Some rebellious descendant decided to marry a less-than-pure individual and was Cast Out as pennance, and from thence sprung our Laddy Dumbledore. It might also explain a little about Aberforth and his supposed weirdness :/
With those suggestive words, Dumbledore prepares to whore out his "man" to Slughorn, and I sit here amazed that Scholastic hasn't received more flack for publishing this book!
Indeed. Penetrating defences? Harry's a honey trap now.
