*** If it helps, the younger a kid is, the easier it is for them to learn a foreign language and, with the Baudlaires having money, maybe they prolly sent their kids to multilingual private schools? About the other kids, well, they know Sunny well enough to understand what she's saying and, addin' to that, the older ones prolly taught Sunny foreign languages, too?

** She does impact the plot in two significant ways in that her presence provides a reason (i.e. a bratty child demanding her guardians provide her with impractical toys) for the harpoon gun and the wooden ship to be on the roof of the hotel, both of which become very important later on.

Her presence provides a reason (i.e. a bratty child demanding her guardians provide her with impractical toys) for the harpoon gun and the wooden ship to be on the roof of the hotel, both of which become very important later on. \n Also, in The Grim Grotto the horrendous dance routine she subjects the rowers to unwittingly [[spoiler: somewhat helps the Baudelaire orphans escape the submarine by creating a distraction]]

Added DiffLines:

** Shortly after meeting them, Hal tells the orphans he doesn't trust The Daily Punctilio because it is full of lies. He later believes they are criminals after they [[spoiler: steal his keys]] and this seems to him consistent with the accusations other characters he interacts with make against them. Perhaps between that time and his appearance in The Penultimate Peril he had read what the newspaper said about them and his distrust of the publication is what caused him to change his mind.

** BavarianFireDrill. Cutting off a patient's head would so obviously kill them that everyone assumes there's some plan to prevent that from happening.


Added DiffLines:

** It's set in a post-apocalyptic future, which explains a ''lot'' [[https://www.reddit.com/r/FanTheories/comments/86d1bg/a_series_of_unfortunate_events_a_series_of/ about the setting]].

*** It's also possible that the money Mrs. Bass stole from the bank could be the Baudelaire fortune (can't remember where I heard that theory, probably on Wiki/TheOtherWiki.) Wouldn't it be funny if Olaf went to steal the fortune only for the whole thing to be gone already?

* Olaf in ''The Hostile Hospital'' ''won''. He had captured Violet, who was fourteen and the closest to being eighteen and thus had his hands on the Baudelaire fortune, give or take a few years. And...he decides with his lackeys to sedate and behead her, on the pretext of it being an operating demonstration. First, why? And there is no excuse for this stupidity when later while mistreating a captive Sunny he has the sense to keep her alive at least.

** MotiveDecay, and evidently an instance the writer realized, given what happens later.
