Welcome to the Witch Weekly's column. This corner will be about a
certain topic being discussed about all those important yet
unnoticed stuff in the HP books. Although, some of them will be a
little stupid, but this is just for fun. Due to the fact that I'm still
busy developing this site, I might only do this once every fornight.
This week's topic: Is Lupin/Sirius really who he is??
::Warning::Major OOTP Spoilers
You must be asking what I mean about what I said above. Well, actually I want to ask all of you...Have you ever thought that
Lupin or Sirius might have been death-eater?? No? I thought so, but there are several points that point to that. Well,
although I'm pretty sure that this theory is not and will not be true, but I might. And if it does, I'm not at all surprised.
In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 33-The Death Eaters, page 565, avid fans of the book could have remember
about Lord Voldemort saying this particular line.
"And here we have six missing Death Eaters...three dead in my service. One, too cowardly to
return...he will pay. One, who I believe has left me for ever...he will be killed, of course...and one,
who remains my most faithful servant, and who has already re-entered my sevice."
Most people would assume that the first death-eater will be Karkaroff who fled at the time the Mark on his hand begin to
burn. The second to be Severnus Snape who of course turn his back to Lord Voldemort and lastly Barty Crouch's son who
acted as A.Moody. But have you ever stop to think that maybe Snape was already in the group of the death-eaters that
had come together where Voldemort was. I mean, Lord Voldemort didn't exactly stop to address each of the death-eaters.
And if Snape was one of them, Voldemort will surely not address him as Harry might have heard him and knowing how close
Harry was to Dumbledore...he will not be that foolish!! Besides that, if Snape did actually back-stab Voldemort, why in the
world would Lucius Malfoy be soo-extra friendly to Snape?? How could he be so stupid to actually befriend Snape? Even he
was just pretending to be friendly, he could have stop in the fifth book. I'm pretty sure that Voldemort wouldn't be pleased
with the "friendship". Besides, if Snape isn't one of the Death Eaters, how in the world can he find information about Lord
Voldemort's doings if he has already showm his true colours (as in siding Dumbledore). Surely, Lucius wouldn't go on gloating
about what Voldemort is going to do next. He would be dead, either sacrificed by Voldie or prisoned in Azkaban. Besides
that, due to Snape's behaviour of having an inflated ego too, he accidently confirmed that he is continuing his spying on
Lord Voldemort.
"That is just as well, Potter," said Snape coldly,"because you are neither special nor important,
and it is not up to you to find out what the Dark Lord is saying to his Death Eaters."
"No-that's your job, isn't it?"Harry shot at him.
and later...
"Yes, Potter,"he said, his eyes glinting. "That is my job."
-Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix,
Chapter 26-Seen and Unforseen, page 521.
Snape can actually pretend that he's spying on Dumbledore too inorder to let Voldemort think that he is loyal, after-all. And
do not forget, Snape excels in Occlumency, therefore it might be quite impossible that the Dark Lord might not know if he's
lying...but you can never assure anything when Voldemort is concern.
Back to the topic, why do I think that the death-eater might be Lupin? It might be other people...well let's see, I'm sure none
of the Hogwarts teachers are able to be one, since it's just weird to imagine them being one. I don't think Mungungus or
either Athur or Molly and also Kingsley are capable of being one too, as they have long pledge their loyalty to Dumbledore.
It seems impossible that a well-known and very active Auror like Moody is one. That leaves us to two very suspicious
characters, the two old buddies...Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. Why do I say they are suspicious? Doesn't it occur to you
that they are in fact two very mysterious characters?? For starters we don't even know which house they are in. We just
have to presume that they are Gryffindorians because James is one. However, due to the fact that both James and Sirius are
pure-bloods and they must have been related to each-other, we can also presume that they could have known each other
before they started to go to Hogwarts. And this might suggest that perhaps Sirius might have been in Slytherin!! Seeing that
his whole family are most probably Slytherins. (Hey, look at the Weasleys!!) I mean, if he was to go to Gryffindor at the age
of 11. Then, his name would have been wiped of the family tree in Grimmauld Place then. (His name was only wiped off when
he was 16) I mean I think it would have been a disgrace to go to another house. You might say, look at Harry, he has a kind
of Voldemort-Slytherin qualities but he chose to go to Gryffindor. Well, I suppose Sirius could do that but honestly, he's
such a care-free person, I don't think he would have minded about the house thingy. Besides, he knows that he has his own
principles and being put into Slytherin wouldn't have affected it. And as we know, Gryffindors and Slytherins are always
having classes together so that might not be a problem. Sirius might also have been in Ravenclaw, but I think he had a better
chance in getting into Slytherin.
Points that Sirius Black might have been a death-eater:
He might have been in Slytherin, easily influenced and become a death-eater to please his family and maybe secretly
trying to spy like Snape.
In OOTP, Chapter 36-The Only One He Has Ever Feared, page 717,
"Master, I am sorry, i knew not, I was fighting the Aminagus Black!" sobbed Bellatrix, flinging
herself down at Voldemort's feet as he paced slowly nearer. "Master, you should know-"
and later...
"But Master-he is here-he is below-"
(Could the uncompleted sentence mean more if it was completed?
Like: "Master, you should know that he traited you, you should know, he is now supporting Dumbledore"
and also "But Master-he is here-he is below-the traitor, I wanted to take revenge for my family...
and you, Master")
In POA, it was stated that Sirius was the first to arrive at the scene when he suspect that Peter had betrayed them
...how did he know?? Dumbledore did not tell anyone about James and Lily's death except Hagrid who he ordered to
take Harry to him immediately. Maybe he was a death-eater/spy and he found out about the "Surrender" by Peter
Pettigrew BUT Dumbledore thought that maybe he had already changed sides [even easier to believe if he's in
Slytherin.] Remember in POA, Chapter 10-The Marauder's Map, page 154
"How was I ter know he wasn' upset abou' Lily and James? It was You-Know-Who he cared abou'!
An' then he says, "Give Harry ter me, Hagrid, I'm his godfather, I'll look after him-" Ha! But I'd had
me orders from Dumbledore said Harry was ter go ter his aunt an' uncle's...
How bout Lupin, well we are not sure if he is even a pure-blood. He might even turn out to be like Lily Evans or Hermione
Granger. The Lupin's were not mentioned in Sirius family tree so...he might have a family who supports Dumbledore or is a
half-blood or has no magic-blood. But then, I suspect he must have a parent or parents who are witches or wizards as he was
bitten by a werewolf in a young age.(Before he was 11.) And base on the qualities he has shown so far in the HP books, I
think it's only suitable that he's a Gryffindor and if you ask me, Sirius should have been with Slytherin.
Points that Remus Lupin might have been a death-eater:
James did not trust him. WEll, I know James trust Sirius more then everyone else but why would he have not given
Lupin the chance to be the secret-keeper when Sirius say he is not fit enough to be one? Why rather trust someone as
vulnerable as Peter Pettigrew?? Why did Sirius think that Lupin might have back-stab them(read your POA) and Peter
will not??? Possible answer, Lupin might have been working under-cover for Dumbledore like Snape but James is
afraid he will really betray him.
"But then..."[blablabla]"...why hasn't he shown himself before now? Unless-"[blablabla]
"-unless he was the one...unless you switched...without telling me?"
-POA, Chapter 17-Cat, Rat and Dog, page 252
Why though? Why didn't James trust him enough to even tell him. Why does he only trust Sirius? Why can't he have
tell Lupin so that there will be more witness?? Why? Based on OOTP, is very unlikely that Lupin can't keep a secret,
in fact, he should have told Lupin, what if Sirius really betrayed him? No one would have known anything...
Well, I've laid out all my points. It's rather hard to believe if Sirius or Lupin is a death-eater but..it's up to you to figure it
out!! The next article of Witch Weekly will about "The disturbing person, Mark Evans". If you have any thoughts or stuff
about this fornight or next fornight's subject, do not hesitate to e-mail me.
