the reason dumbledore knows about the plan for draco to kill him is because dumbledore's name is mentioned WHILE dumbledore has the deluminator. You forget, one of the magic aspects of the deluminator is it lets you listen in to conversations where the OWNER of the deluminator's name i smentioned. This is how Dumbledore knew a LOT of things. by mentioning his name he's able to listen to people in the vicinity where his name was uttered. this aspect later works for Ron. The first time Ron's name is mentioned after he departs he tells them that he was able to hear snippets of their conversation and able to apparate right where they were...which also explains how dumbledore is able to appear RIGHT where he's needed...whenever one calls out to him for help...he's there ebcause the deluminator. NOT because of chocolate frog cards.

I completely agree regarding the wormtail theory. There’s no way that Voldemort would just take his word for it. If anything, he would force him to come along so that, if Wormtail had lied to him, he would kill him on the spot.

Somehow Draco does not come across as someone who would collect Chocolate Frog Cards. If he did, you could be sure to tear up any Dumbledore cards that he got.

I always thought the deluminator had taboo magic on it and the rightful owner was able to hear when their name was being said. And that’s how dumbledor knew who was speaking about him more then the chocolate frog cards

Another option for Ron's ability... his chess pieces are hand me downs so they had years of experience to teach Ron the best methods. That plus practice he is able to play with all that knowledge he picked up from his chess men

"Wormtail? You entrusted the lives of your family members to a guy named Wormtail?"

14:18 there are kids that age that are masters in chess. I think a prodigy could easily defeat McGonagall in chess

JK has specifically said Snape wasn't a Vampire. Which is a shame cuz its a great theory. I've long believed most of these.

I remember seeing a short clip (with Rowling doing a bit of voice-over on it). She claimed that she never meant for Snape to be a vampire, but shows a scribbled drawing that she did of Snape, around the time she started writing the books. She admitted that it looked a bit like Count Dracula, so she wondered whether she did subconsciously think of him a bit that way.
I only saw the clip quite recently, and it is bugging me now, because I can't remember where I saw it!

I think the more parsimonious explanation for wormtail is that he stayed outside as a sentry to ensure Voldemort wouldn't be interrupted before his work was done. Heck, there might have been other death eaters around Godric's Hollow too.

5 details missed = 5 fan theories

You’ve started with Wormtail being present at Jimmy and Lily’/ house at the night of their death (which made me physically sick with rage and betrayal) and then non-chalantly switched to CHOCOLATE FROG theory. Man, what a pacing of story telling you have 😂

@hpthebutterfree 1 year ago

3:39 The problem with this Wormtail theory is that James was in the sitting room, which is typically right by the front entrance of a house. So Lily coming in from another room to tell him that Wormtail had arrived wouldn’t happen. I’d argue James felt safe setting down his wand because he trusted Peter and didn’t think that they would be in danger so long as they were in the home.

14:23 idk about ron having latent seer abilities. I mean nowadays 11 year olds become chess masters everywhere, and Ron had 2 obsessions other than food, Chess and Quidditch. Plus just cause Mcgonagall was a transfiguration master doesn’t mean she was a great or even good chess player

I highly doubt Draco would have a card of Dumbledore

@Katie870 1 year ago

Since I first read the books back in 2002 I thought that Dumbledore used the chocolate frog cards to spy on Harry. That scene on the train the first book gave me the impression he wanted to check on him to see if he was safe and doing well. I also theorised that Snape was a bat animagus. There were so many references to his bat-like appearance that I was convinced. I think Ron has really good intuition and that's why he's so good at predicting things. I really like your Wormtail theory, it makes the most sense from what we know.

Problem with the taboo Ron name is that there are so many people named Ron

15:37 This would also work well with the bleeding spell because hanging someone upsidedown is the quickest way to drain a body of its blood due to having the lower extremities elevated above the heart and directing all that blood to the heart, effectively pumping it out quicker, especially from an arterial neck wound.

I don't think Wormtail was there WITH Voldy when James was killed. We see Voldy's perspective of that night in book 7, and Wormtail wasn't with him. As for the chocolate frog spy network theory, it seems like the book suggests that there's only 1 version of Dumbledore that flits between all the cards. "You can't expect him to hang around all day."
