Spoiler space You're welcome, Mocha. Although today I did venture over to a regular HP message board and within a few minutes came across a couple other theories - such as Regulas still being alive and living under the assumed identity of Stubby Boardman; and a reallly complicated one about one of the orphaned children Riddle took to the cave being adopted by a wizarding family and changing his/her first name and growing up to be one of the adults in the series and on and on. My head started spinning and I had to skip out of there after only a few minutes! I think I prefer the relatively simple Regulas is R.A.B. theory, lol, but I have to admit the Stubby Boardman idea made me grin. Of course there are others with a last name beginning with "B". If the OotP locket was the horcrux, I wonder what they did with all that stuff they were cleaning out of Grimmauld Place?

Spoiler space Ladydewtel, I'm still trying to understand what you meant by Harry being a horcrux. Do you think that he is one of Valdemort's horcruxes in that he has part of Valdemort inside him? I thought that horcruxes could only be inanimate objects, but that would be an interesting twist if at the moment of his death Valdemort had made Harry his last horcrux. He had just killed Harry's parents so that would be the killing required to make a horcrux. Perhaps that is why Valdemort doesn't seem to want to kill Harry just yet.

Also might explain why Voldy needed Harry's blood in the GoF. And the significance of Harry's scar has never been explained, either.

Interesting ideas! Azriel, don't forget that Nagini, Voldemort's snake, is a living thing, not an inanimate object.

Finished this last night. da dum da dum da dum While I unfortunately knew what happened at the end (Snape/Dumbledore -- darn you, Entertainment Weekly!!!!), I still was sorta dumbstruck at how ... brutal ... it seemed. Now that I've read it, I can definitely see where Rowling has planted enough little hints to make you question whether Snape is truly evil ... though an interview she gave mugglenet.com sorta makes me discount that theory. I sooo wanted to know how Dumbledore burned his arm/hand.

boop boop bee doooooooo I'm not sure if he came out and said that yes this is how I burned my hand. I think he alluded to it after they reviewed the memory bout the horcruxes.

Sage, I'd forgot about that! Well, that makes this theory a very interesting possibility.

The prophecy says that One must die for the other to live. If Harry is a Horcrux, that would explain why he would have to die, in order to strengthen Voldemort; but, if Voldemort kills Harry, wouldn't that be destroying his own Horcrux? And if Harry is a Horcrux...kills Voldemort...what then? I'm not sure if I'm buying into the Harry is a Horcrux theory.

I wonder if somehow Harry's aunt Petunia will play any sort of role in the ending of the story, or if she really was meant to remain a fairly small character. I agree that Kreacher will play into finding at least one of them.

okay here I go again, butting in. Kreacher will indeed have a clue to one horcrux because we already know about it. It is mentioned in Order of the Phenox. The locket noone could open. That is Slytherin's locket and Kreacher has it with all the other stuff he swiped. Anyway just my 2 cents.

My head is spinning after reading all these! I'm going to throw one out to you all.. Do you think Snape is somehow related to Harry? Also, the room of requirement had a special place for hidden things. It might be a good place to for Kreacher to hide it.

here's a crazy theory! Dumbledore's Howler to Petunia said "remember my last" -- then Dumbledore said that the Dursley's had done damage to Dudley. What if: In exchange for the Dursleys taking Harry in, Dumbledore bound Dudley's potential wizarding abilities. As we learned at the end of HBP, a spell only lasts as long as it's caster (the petrificus totalis spell Dumbledore cast on Harry wore off with his death). Does this open the window for Dudley to suddenly start displaying wizarding abilities? Things that make you go hmmmm.....

I was wondering... is the fact that Snape's book was in the Room of Requirement have something to do with Draco being able to finally repair the cabinet? Will Draco be redeemed in the final book?

Welp.. I just finished the book and just finished reading all of this thread.. I think there are some good theories. I don't think I buy the Harry as a Horcrux theory though. I don't know what I th ink about other things though. Dumbledore's death totally got me. I read almost to the end last night. Right up until chapter 30. I had to put it down and sleep. But.. I tossed and turned for who knows h ow long. First of all, i twas hotter than the dickens in my room, and second of all, i was upset about the most recent turn of events in the book..it's absolutely nuts! It's gonna be hell waiting for the next one to come out.

I wonder if Rowling had Dumbledor die because Richard Harris that played Dumbledor died?

Well, I don't think so, because she made it clear several years ago that she pretty much knew the course of events...and besides, there are new Harry Potter movies coming out even as we speak and Dumbledore is in all of them as far as we know, so whether Richard Harris was dead or not wouldn't make a difference.
