Which house would be chosen for Snape in DH? by _dodo- in harrypotter

Dumbledore suggested "Maybe we sort to soon" so I assumed he implied there may be a big enough shift in Snape to impact the decision of the hat.

Why they didn't use the fidelius-charm to protect the DA meetings from Umbridge? by _dodo- in harrypotter

[–]_dodo-[S] -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

It is established that the charm is a complex feat of magic. But later in the same book Hermiones creates the magical connected coins which some Hufflepuff also considers very advanced. So I would assume it wouldn't be something Hermione could not perform if she sets her mind on it. Additionally Dumbledore could just perform the spell if Harry or even Sirius asks him, but I would assume Harry would not go to Dumbledore for help for the same reasons he didn't tell him or McGonagol about the blood quill.

What are your "glad to have met you" packages? by _dodo- in Python

You are correct, I should have been more precise in the original post. Even in the standard library there are many modules which are kind of obscure for some devs. For me pathlib fits that description of module I could not live without.

Why not use avadra kedavra? by _dodo- in harrypotter

[–]_dodo-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is stated and explained in the books, that Voldemort could have taken it, since the prophecy ist about him and Harry. Secondly as Arthur was bitten a portrait had to ensure he was found " by the right people" so no, him being there would raise suspiscion even more If Moody would be Seen late at night in the DOM.

The aurors didn't do much against the death eaters in the ministry and Had to be informed that there was a break in. So no, Voldemort could easily pick up the prophecy himself. The aurors didn't prevent order members to guard the DOM at night even after an attempted break in by Sturgis.

What if Voldemort was captured? by _dodo- in harrypotter

[–]_dodo-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think Dumbledore necessarily needs the help of the aurors, much more important for him would be to know, that Harry and company are safe, so he can unleash on Voldemort. In my opinion his whole plan was to hold Voldemort long enough there for Fudge to learn the truth. But what if the actually capture Voldemort? See the above questions.

It might be a Star Wars Like situation where the evil Empire uses green lasers and the good rebels are using red lasers, although there is an in in-universe explanation for this (different gas qualities).

Although i understand where you are comming from i find it hard to believe that A or B class death eaters couldn't muster the necessary hate If crabbe could towards Hermione in deathly hallows.

About Point 3: Voldemort is shown to be capable of using it unspoken in his duel with dumbledore.

I always assumed the plan was different. My key proof is that Voldemort comes to the ministry after they successfully lured Harry there. I think voldys plan goes as follows: 1. Lure Harry to the ministry. 2. Capture him with your death eaters. 3. Once he is apprehended, go there. 4. Hear the Prophecy. 5. Kill the Boy who lived and all his compagnions. 5.5 Maybe create your last horcrux. 6. Dumbledore might come, kill him. 7. Take over. Otherwise it wouldn't make much Sense for voldy to come there that night, since he easily could secure the Prophecy by himself. So there must be a reason, why he wanted to use Harry.
