One day, the Marauders were in trouble for some reason (as usual). This time, they quickly passed themselves off as a music band and came up with the name "Hob Goblins", which was also a Line Of Sight Name, probably a stand in for the Beatles. Naturally, [[Main/SpringtimeForHitler they proved a hit]], and so they carried on the deception for several years, à la ''[[Main/HannahMontana Hannah Montana]]''. It ended only when... you know, three-fourths of them were dead, in Azkaban, or living as someone's pet rat.

[[WMG: The reason why the Horcruxes are the way they are is because you need a personal connection to it.]]
[[spoiler:Asides from Harry Potter of course]]. If any object could be made a Horcrux Voldemort would've used something innocuous that people wouldn't be able to identify. His diary and Marvolo Gaunt's ring are pretty obvious examples, and Salazar Slytherin's locket is due to his close affinity towards Slytherin and him being his heir. Helga Hufflepuff's Cup and Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem is a less obvious example; he considers Hogwarts his true home, and anything important to the founders he'd have attachment to. He could've picked Godric Gryffindor's Sword, but given his personal hang-ups the connection would've failed. Finally there's Nagini, who's attachment is his strong affinity with snakes and that her venom sustained him in his rudimentary body.

** It's a combination of the two. Harry was the true Master of Death. He didn't try and avoid death like Voldemort, but accepted it willingly, realizing it was inevitable and natural. When struck by the avada kedavra, Death recognized his Master and knew it was not truly his time. Thus Harry lived.

\n* But Dobby's considered to be an incredibly weird house-elf for being happy about being freed. Kreacher is so into being a servant that his goal is to have his head mounted on the wall in Grimmauld Place. It wouldn't make sense for him to be happy about being freed, just to be happy that this new master (who he previously hated and treated like crap as much as possible) gave him something that had belonged to dear old Regulus.

** The problem with this theory is that the recordings of the prophecies in the Department of Mysteries were designed to cause severe brain damage to anyone who tried to pick one of them up, unless the person who tried to pick up a recording of a certain prophecy was mentioned in that prophecy. Harry picked up the recording labeled "SPT to APWBD: Dark Lord and ?Harry Potter" and did not suffer any brain damage; thus that prophecy had to be about Harry. Unless you're suggesting that Harry DID suffer brain damage from picking it up, and everything that happened after that was a figment of an addled mind...



[[WMG: The prophecy drove Harry insane.]]

As a corollary to WMG entry about Harry not being the Chosen One: the prophecy wasn't about Harry, and thus when he picked up the recording of it near the end of book 5, it did the same damage to Harry's brain that it had done to Broderick Bode's; and everything that happened after that was a figment of Harry's imagination.

** What FridgeBrilliance are you talking about? Everything in the books clearly points out to Harry being the one marked by Voldemort "as his equal" - where does Neville become that? Certainly not in the argument they have after Voldemort makes Hagrid bring Harry's "dead body": Voldemort does recognize that Neville is a WorthyOpponent, but he only offers Neville the chance to live by becoming his servant.

Not to cut Umbridge any slack, as she's ''easily'' the most loathsome character in the franchise, but maybe the reason her CompleteMonster tendencies seemed even worse when we saw her in that courtroom is that she was wearing the Horcrux, and had been for some time. It's evil was enough to drive a wedge between people who care as much about each other as Ron and Harry, so it ''could'' offer an explanation as to why her sadism went from bad enough to punish kids by scratching words on their hands, to giving muggle-borns a FateWorseThanDeath at the hands of the Dementors. She's a heartless bitch, but that really seems like a Voldemort idea, and she ''was'' wearing a piece of his soul around her neck. Again, she's evil without question, but just maybe EvenEvilHasStandards in this case.

* No, Snapes an a-hole and a jerk and a villain. He is a 'good guy' only in the Noah Bennet (from heroes) sense of the word. Noah Bennet was always an a-hole, it's just he loved his daughter and family and would do anything to protect them, even turn on his bosses. The only reason Snape turns against Voldemort is because Voldermort threatened the woman Snape loved. Other than that Snape was on board with the whole Death Eater agenda, and the only reason he started working for Dumbeldore is because Dumbeldore swore to protect Lilly.

\n** Doubtful... it's said to take a certain amount of evil intent to work the Unforgivable Curses, with the Avada Kedavra implied to require the most. And it's probable that the Avada Kedavra only works on living organisms. It's the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Killing Curse]]... and you can't really kill something that's not truly alive.
* Perhaps a Killing Curse would only work on a Horcrux that the caster himself created?

[[WMG:Horcruxes work like (and were inspired from) the [[LordOfTheRings Ring of Power]]]]
* Obviously you've got the important SoulJar element, the evil influence on a carrier's psyche. (Never mind that Voldemort turned an actual ring into his ''first'' Horcrux). But it seems that the Horcruxes that gain sentience (the diary and the locket, for example) attempt to influence the wearers to reunite them with their master, because at the end of the day, a soul is meant to stay whole.

** If the historical development of the Wizarding!British Empire and the Muggle!British Empire only diverged in WWII, then Australia was already an equal Commonwealth ''partner'' as per the Statute of Westminster and the Balfour Declaration. The Dominions were not subordinate, a huge part, in fact, of Chamberlain's pre-WWII diplomacy was done out of fear that the Dominions would remain neutral if they didn't feel enough had been done for peace. So it's possible an independent-but-affiliated Wizarding government in Canberra would refuse to back Voldemort, and could even do what Churchill planned for the Dominions to to in WWII if Britain was occupied; continue the battle for true government from overseas.

Harry Potter broke into Gringotts, they even know this at Hogwarts. The goblins were considering confiscating Harry's sizable account as punishment (to cover damages), but Voldemort killing so many goblins swayed Gringotts to see that Harry was did the right thing.
