not even close to 1 GB by my calculations [it is late here]...
if you limit the size to 5 KB messages [which would be most of them] and if
there was an average of 10 per day, for 2 years it would come to 36500 KB or
less than 4% of a GB

Hopefully an insane theory everybody was sure was real. Those were
always fun, Snape is a vampire. Lockhart is the HBP because of a
badge he wore in the movie. Harry or V is the HBP despite JK saying
neither is.

I'm trying to remember the top "fights". The top 3 I can think of...
1. is Snape evil?
2. is Dumbledore really dead?
3. is the scar an horcrux?
Steve Morrison
Neville's gum wrappers contain coded messages for the Order.

How about Mrs Norris being a failed animagus... or an example of
transfiguration gone wrong?? :D

Yes, polyjuice potion could be very dangerous in the wrong hands... just as
long as you're quick (not nice to find the person you're "with" suddenly
turning into Snape* half-way through!)

Umbrdige never joined the DE's for revenge against Harry (which still

Everybody is evil and idiot as a teen. I think evilness come from the
fact we are idiots.
but I'm not sure secret pasts count.

Was she? I think she wasn't completely against him. Perhaps she thought
he was right, but she never spoke it aloud.
Drusilla
Oh, my! I remember that. xD
Also, I remember that when HPB was out, I searched through the ng
archives with google, and just ONE person was able to guess that the HBP
was Snape. And it wasn't a regular poster, but someone that I think just
appear a couple of times. But none of us could even guess.

How many people was suspected of being an Animagus??? Or switch places
with someone else? We need a list!
Another one, mrs. Longbottom giving Neville secrets messages with the
gum wrappers about how to defeat LV.
Also, don't forget the secondary characters: We also thought that Mrs.
Norris was actually a woman. But it happened that Filch just loved her
cat too much ;)
Steve Morrison
I suspect she was simply "for" whoever currently happened to be in
power! Some people are like that.

I think she liked his ideals, then his methods. If someone else spoke
of blood purity and kicking the nonhumans out of wizarding society,
but not killing or enslaving people, she'd be just like Bellatrix.
Like Regalus shared the beliefs, but not the callous use of his
underlings and their underlings.
A lot of DE's were lured over by promises of blood purity. Not sure
how many expected an ethnic cleansing sort of deal.

The problem with that is not a lot of people realize lonely folks give
cats names with Mr. and Mrs. in them, without any relationships to
others.
Welsh Dog
Yeah but *that* cat did some really intelligent things like going to
fetch Filch when it saw students breaking the rules. How many 'normal'
cats can do that... or would want to?? :)
The thing was so clearly *at a minimum* a kneazle (whole or part) that
I was really annoyed she turned out to be just another moggie!

I agree with you. I can't see her as a normal cat.

Perhaps prolonged exposure to magic affects certain animals? Maybe
that Qwik-E Spell course Filch tried worked under that principle, and
Filch was just another Pettigrew.

She liked rules and Harry kept breaking them, so she didn't like him. On the
other hand, the DEs introduced lots of new rules when they took over the MoM
so she got to enforce them. Though I am a bit disappointed she didn't have
some morals and decide the DEs were going to far.
Although I suppose when you see her about to perform an unforgiveable curse
and crucio Harry, a school child, I guess she couldn't have had that many
morals!

Definitely a kneazle - cats can be very bright but usually only in their own
interest!
Which is odd, as didn't JKR say Crookshanks was half kneazle so I'd have
thought Mrs Norris was at least half-K!

All those years surrounded by magic probably affected her. Cats might
absorb magic, which is why they were always popular familiars.
