some questions abt HP

1. why couldn't Harry see the Thestrals before his 5th year at Hogwarts? I mean he cud see them after he saw Cedric being murdered. when he as one, he saw his mother being murdered right?😕
2. When Snape made the Unbreakable Vow to Narcissa, do you think Dumbledore had already told him that he will have to kill him? I think so but just want to confirm
3. shouldn't Snape's portrait be there in the headmaster's room?😉 i mean he was the headmaster for a year n so his portrait shud have been there na?
   

n also, why do u think DD refused to give the post of Snape DADA teacher? I dun believe its coz he thought it wud lead him to his old ways as Snape said to Bellatrix in HBP. was is coz the job was jinxed and he was waiting for the right time?

- I think when Voldy killed Lily and James, Harry couldn't really see what was happening, or he was unaware of it... his mother had protected him, maybe she covered/shielded him from seeing what had happened.

- Yup, I believe DD did tell Snape that before itself...

- Don't the portraits only come with the Headmaster dies?? 😕 Phineas Nigellus isn't alive, the one before Dumbledore (Doodle, deedle, something like that, or is it Dippet?) isn't alive either, and neither is DD...

- Abt DD refusing to give Snape the post of DADA, I think you're right, I dont think DD thought Snape was ready to teach it and it wasn't the right time, either...

Well, Cedric died in fourth year, so he would be able to see it the year after..& he did..& with his parents, I guess it was because he hadn't seen his father's death & Lily's death, well..I guess he didn't understand what was going on so it didn't matter!

Well, I guess so..& also so the next Elder Wand owner would be Snape..so he knew it would be in good hands..but Draco had disarmed him which wasn't planned..

& Snape's portrait is probably there now..because they never told us what Hogwart looks like after the second war!..

why couldn't Harry see the Thestrals before his 5th year at Hogwarts??
i guess may b he just dint notice them or one had 2 actually c some one dying 2 b able 2 c thestrals.neville saw his gr8 uncle dying,luna saw her mother..
When Snape made the Unbreakable Vow to Narcissa, do you think Dumbledore had already told him that he will have to kill him? shouldn't Snape's portrait be there in the headmaster's room? i mean he was the headmaster for a year n so his portrait shud have been there na?
i think dd would have already told him.coz three incidents took place in the summer hols.dd destroying the ring,that unbreakable vow and dd coming 2 pick up harry
so we ve 2 assume that these took place in that order only,coz jk never told us when exactly narcassia went 2 snape.
jk dint tell us whether snape's potrait was there or not but i guess if it wasnt there,it was coz he was not a true headmaster
he was just filling up on dd's orders
right headmistress that yr was mcgonnagal coz she was deputy 2 dd na

why do u think DD refused to give the post of Snape DADA teacher? in hp 7 dd tells snape that he doesnt want 2 put all his eggs in one basket esp when that basket spends so much time wid voldemort,so i guess though he trusted him a lot,he dint trust anybody ,even harry completely for that matter.

my answers in color

i agree here harry was just one year old and didnt hv knowledge of death and seeing cedric death he finally cud see thestrals

1. When Snape made the Unbreakable Vow to Narcissa, do you think Dumbledore had already told him that he will have to kill him? I think so but just want to confirm

this i m not sure about

i for one think dumbledore knew a lot more then he let on

he knew abt voldy plan to kill him

he knew snape wasnt safe

thas why i guess he told snape to keep an eye on draco

1. shouldn't Snape's portrait be there in the headmaster's room?😉 i mean he was the headmaster for a year n so his portrait shud have been there na?

i think i read that answer some place in one of the links given by someone post deathly hollows

snape was not really headmaster and he was on dumbledore order and he had left the office or run away before he died. thats why his portrait didnt come up and also jkr didnt say much abt hogwarts after the war. she also mentioned something abt mcgongal giving her hard time

and also she said since harry came to know the truth abt snape she is sure he wud put snape portrait in headmaster office showing his forgiving snape

n also, why do u think DD refused to give the post of Snape DADA teacher? I dun believe its coz he thought it wud lead him to his old ways as Snape said to Bellatrix in HBP. was is coz the job was jinxed and he was waiting for the right time?

i think here he wanted to see if snape is indeed on his side and throughout the series we see dumbledore knowing a lot more abt everyone than he tells. and the post was also cursed due to voldy and i m sure he was aware snape is in constant danger and he may not survive but he wanted snape till end to protect harry in case he is not there. thats why he didnt give snape dada post

LL i hope i hv given satisfactory answers heheehe

i love the way u come up with the questions which r bugging manyppl

- i think when lily n james were murdered, he ddnt no wats goin on as he was a baby therefore he cudnt c the threstrals until he saw cedric die.
- i think dumbledore did plan it out wuth snape because snape wud not make an unbreakable vow sayin he wud kill dumbledore without talkin 2 dumbledore 1st.
- in HP7 theres a chapter called the sacking of severous snape, if he was sacked then he's no longer headmaster which means his portrait shudnt b in the headmasters room.

Evry1 knows that the DADA job is jinxed. If he gave the job to snape b4 then something bad probably wud have hapend 2 snape.

ok guys...thanks for the great answers...

so i guess its coz Harry didnt "UNDERSTAND" that his mother was dying right? He saw her dying coz its said in DH how they were murdered though thru Voldemort's eyes n in it its said that Harry was grinning thinking that it was his dad and his mom will wake up soon n it was a prank....

n i too did think Snape made the unforgivable vow after DD told him what must be done...Otherwise, he will be cheating DD and that he will never do....

omg wow!!! Thats great yaar!!! yep he deserves it...He may never have been a great headmaster but he was a great man and for what he did, this is nothing btw..." Harry forgiving Snape?!" why in the world??? what did Snape do for Harry to "Forgive him"???? Taunt Harry, Dislike Harry as a student? that doesnt need any forgiving coz even at the end, he disliked Harry! coz Harry to disliked him and always was partial against him and wanted to put all blame on Snape but when has he(Harry) been right?😆 But he has done nothing dangerous against Harry for Harry to Forgive him..... well Forgive him for putting his own life in danger to protect Harry?😕😆or if u mean Snape passing the information of the Prophecy to Voldy, well Snape didnt know whom it concerned coz the Prophecy was made before Harry was born....if he had known, he wudnt have told Voldemort....it was not a delibrate mistake and he didnt intend to harm Harry...he was just being a faithful servant....

---n finally the DADA thing...guys do u really think that DD wanted to TEST sNAPE...U KNOW THATS DISAPPOINTING...COZ dd KNOWS THE REASON why Snape came to the better side....that reason is LOVE...Dd believed in the amazing power of love...i cant imagine him thinking that Snape cud betray him ...nah....DD would never undermine the strenth and purity of love by doing that but of course he kept checka nd was alert but I cant believe he wud have done that to Severus....i too thought it was bcoz the job is jinxed and DD didnt want anything to happen to Snape and was waiting for just the right time....

Well, I guess so..& also so the next Elder Wand owner would be Snape..so he knew it would be in good hands..but Draco had disarmed him which wasn't planned..

no yaar...Dumbledore never intended Snape to bcum the master of the Elder Wand...Snape was only carrying out his orders, no defeating him. DD intended to die as the last true owner of the ELder Wand and if Draco hadnt disarmed him, the wand's special powers wud have been destroyed with him. of course idiot Voldemort didnt understand that and felt that if he stole the wand from DD's tomb, it will be his. according to DD's plan, even if voldy tokk the EW from DD's tomb, even then it wudnt have served Vody coz its power is destroyed now as its last master is undefeated... DD didnt mean to pass it to Snape. Remember that DD says that the Elder Wand is the least extraordinary yet the meanest of all the 3 Hallows...he wanted to save the ppl from it coz he knew that the Elder Wand is safe in only his hands and that he has to die undefeated to destroy its power....

Snape wasn't a portrait in the headmaster's room because he abandoned his post before dying
