Some questions to ponder
Got this off of a Yahoo group I'm on and thought we could see what comes up here!!!! Have fun and looking forward to your answers!
I think that as a group there are lots of fascinating questions that
we ignore in order to focus on such unimportant issues like "Is Harry
a horcrux?" or "Will Harry die?"
What about --
1) Do the Hogwarts toilets really empty into the lake?
2) What did Nearly Headless Nick do to warrant a beheading?
3) Does/Did Dumbledore wear anything under all those flashy robes?
4) Are Filch and Madam Pince an item or just good friends?
5) What was Aberforth doing with that goat?
6) Wolves mate for life...does that mean that Lupin has never had sex?
7) Are any of the darn teachers married? Does Pansy Parkinson know about Myrtle and Draco?
9) Are there magical litterboxes strewn around the castle to
accomodate the various cats, toads, rats, and birds living there?
10) What are those "whirring and puffing" do-dads on Dumbledore's
desk?
11) Are there baby house elves running around Hogwarts?
12) How did Crabbe and Goyle feel about morphing into little girls?
13) What kind of stones are in the Hufflepuff hourglass?
14) Does pumpkin juice really taste good?
15) Why do all the centaurs seem to be male?
16) Do the male and female prefects really share that splendid
bathroom?
17) What do the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff common rooms look like?
1 Is there a Mr. Norris?
19) Why the heck does grandma Longbottom have a stuffed vulture on
her hat?
20) Has Pettigrew really been wearing the same clothes for 12 years?
[Potters' death to PoA.]
21) Why doesn't Snape wash his hair?
22) What happened to Umbridge's technicolor kitty plates? [I want to
believe that they have been shattered into teeny-tiny bits because
they are one of the most frightening creations of JKR mind that we
have yet witnessed.]
Re: Some questions to ponder
1) Do the Hogwarts toilets really empty into the lake? I surely do hope not. *scrunching up my nose*
2) What did Nearly Headless Nick do to warrant a beheading?I think it was because he was trying to join some elite wizard club and got turned down, so he threw a fit and they nearly beheaded him.
3) Does/Did Dumbledore wear anything under all those flashy robes?
4) Are Filch and Madam Pince an item or just good friends? just good friends
5) What was Aberforth doing with that goat?I am sure that it was all a big misunderstanding
6) Wolves mate for life...does that mean that Lupin has never had sex?apparently
7) Are any of the darn teachers married?hmm.. Does Pansy Parkinson know about Myrtle and Draco? lol, lol,
9) Are there magical litterboxes strewn around the castle to
accomodate the various cats, toads, rats, and birds living there? I sure do hope so!
10) What are those "whirring and puffing" do-dads on Dumbledore's
desk? I do not know
11) Are there baby house elves running around Hogwarts? this is something I hadnt thought of even once.
12) How did Crabbe and Goyle feel about morphing into little girls? lol, I did wonder about this one. Funny
13) What kind of stones are in the Hufflepuff hourglass? ??
14) Does pumpkin juice really taste good? I think it does, its something that she writes so appealingly, but it has to be ICE COLD
15) Why do all the centaurs seem to be male? they are just the most dominant ones, the females stay hidden away..?? maybe...
16) Do the male and female prefects really share that splendid
bathroom? hadn't thought of this either.. hmm
17) What do the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff common rooms look like?
1 Is there a Mr. Norris? nah
19) Why the heck does grandma Longbottom have a stuffed vulture on
her hat? the hat was on sale
20) Has Pettigrew really been wearing the same clothes for 12 years? well, I bet so, he was pretty gross looking
[Potters' death to PoA.]
21) Why doesn't Snape wash his hair? I think he does, he just uses LOTS of hair gel
22) What happened to Umbridge's technicolor kitty plates? [I want to
believe that they have been shattered into teeny-tiny bits because
they are one of the most frightening creations of JKR mind that we
have yet witnessed.] no idea

Re: Some questions to ponder
1) Do the Hogwarts toilets really empty into the lake? I think they seep down into the pipes leading to the chamber of secrets.
2) What did Nearly Headless Nick do to warrant a beheading? Judging from his clothes I'd speculate that he was beheaded at the order of King Henry VIII maybe? If that's the case, it could have been for something as trivial as beating the King at tennis or chess!
3) Does/Did Dumbledore wear anything under all those flashy robes?
4) Are Filch and Madam Pince an item or just good friends? They were made for each other but I think Filch's heart belongs to Mrs. Norris (who knows, she might have started life as a witch and is an Animagus and, since Filch is a Squib, chose to make the change permenant to stay with him).
5) What was Aberforth doing with that goat? Goat's milk is good for the complexion.
6) Wolves mate for life...does that mean that Lupin has never had sex? If Remus Lupin was a wolf, that might hold true. However, poor soul is a were wolf. Major differance.
7) Are any of the darn teachers married? Probably not, they've chosen to put all their energies into training up the generations of witch and wizard rather than adding to the population.
8 ) Does Pansy Parkinson know about Myrtle and Draco? The only way Moaning Myrtle would be a threat to Pansy is if Draco gets killed and choses to stay around as a ghost at Hogwarts!
9) Are there magical litterboxes strewn around the castle to
accomodate the various cats, toads, rats, and birds living there? The floor of the Owlery is littered with scat pods so it appears that no one cleans up around there. I'd imagine that the clean up duty also falls to the house elves and they simply fling a "Scourgify" spell where needed.
10) What are those "whirring and puffing" do-dads on Dumbledore's desk? I don't know about all of them, but I've recognized an astrolabe, a sextant and a clockwork model of the solar system
11) Are there baby house elves running around Hogwarts? Could be. We know there are male and females in the species.
12) How did Crabbe and Goyle feel about morphing into little girls? They were not happy and you gotta wonder just what Draco threatened them with to get them to do that!
13) What kind of stones are in the Hufflepuff hourglass? What are the house colors? I remember that Gryffindor is red and gold, so their stones are ruby. Slytheryn is green and white, their stones are emeralds.
14) Does pumpkin juice really taste good? Never tasted pumpkin juice. But, I've heard that it is .
15) Why do all the centaurs seem to be male? Could be we've only seen males because, rather like non-magical horses, the centaurs we've seen are a bachelor group?
16) Do the male and female prefects really share that splendid
bathroom? Yes! Just not at the same time. Since Harry wasn't disturbed by another living student, there might be a spell on the place to keep others out when it's in use.
17) What do the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff common rooms look like?
18 ) Is there a Mr. Norris?
19) Why the heck does grandma Longbottom have a stuffed vulture on her hat? Because it came out of one of the magical crackers pulled over the Christmast holidays. Could be that Neville pulls the cracker with her and she wears the hat as a way to show her love for him?
20) Has Pettigrew really been wearing the same clothes for 12 years? Probably. The good news is, Ron more than likely gave him regular baths so that he was at least a clean rat.
21) Why doesn't Snape wash his hair? He may simply have overactive scalp glands so that, no matter how often he'd wash, it never looks clean.
22) What happened to Umbridge's technicolor kitty plates? [I want to believe that they have been shattered into teeny-tiny bits because they are one of the most frightening creations of JKR mind that we have yet witnessed.] They were sent back to the rock she lives under when it was discovered that the centaurs didn't do away with her.
Re: Some questions to ponder1) Do the Hogwarts toilets really empty into the lake?
Yes.
2) What did Nearly Headless Nick do to warrant a beheading?
I don't know but I hope we find out.
5) What was Aberforth doing with that goat?
Trying to get a bezoar out without killing it.
7) Are any of the darn teachers married?
I'll let JKR answer that.
Have any of the Hogwarts professors had spouses?
JKR: Good question - yes, a few of them, but that information is sort of restricted - you'll find out why..
9) Are there magical litterboxes strewn around the castle to
accomodate the various cats, toads, rats, and birds living there?
I think it's just dirty.
10) What are those "whirring and puffing" do-dads on Dumbledore's desk?
Good question but I have no answer.
14) Does pumpkin juice really taste good?
I have my doubts.
18 ) Is there a Mr. Norris?
Nope.
19) Why the heck does grandma Longbottom have a stuffed vulture on her hat?
Must be a clue for something I can't figure out.
20) Has Pettigrew really been wearing the same clothes for 12 years? [Potters' death to PoA.]
*shivers*
21) Why doesn't Snape wash his hair?
Who says he doesn't?
Does Pansy Parkinson know about Myrtle and Draco?
