Random Canon Thoughts

[author_by_night]

- It's strange, but my friend was right in a pre-OoTP fanfic about a Black being a Squib. Granted, she had her be Sirius's sister and female, but still.

- James and Sirius were not cousins, in my opinion. Otherwise, Sirius would've mentioned that. Distant kin is more likely.

- Either Andromeda was exactly one year younger than Bellatrix, or she was one young mother. (That, or Remus is dating a twenty year old, which makes me, well, like the ship less than when I thought Tonks must be about twenty four in HBP).


- Tonks's pink hair was not disrespectful to Dumbledore. And while some people had good points, I think in other cases, she's never going to win unless she says Remus and Sirius were the ones in love, and/or she's magically removing her "Mary Sue powers."

- JKR really sucks at math. But that's okay, because so do I.

- I really want more on Regulus. Is it bad that before I realized he might have been more important than we realize, I thought he was sort of a reverse Peter Pettigrew, who only really turned out of fear?
Draco seems to be who we thought Regulus was, and Regulus... I'm not sure, but he's definitely not the stupid idiot Sirius made him out to be if he was the Horcrux Destroyer. (New nickname!)

- As for how Regulus found out, I think it's simple: he probably did a lot of research, and had access to the research, being from an old, Dark Wizarding family. Nobody else dared to question him.

I doubt it... from the sounds of it, he really didn't trust his own followers. And Horcruxes... you don't tell someone why you are immortal. They'll undoubtedly use it against you - Regulus did.
