I have started reading again, and I am picking up on thngs I missed.

Something came to me last night, and it was about Snape being the Potions Master. It was said numerous times during the book that Lily was excellent at potions, do you think that the reason hat Dumbledore never gave Snape the Defence Against the Dark Arts job was to keep reminding Snape of what had to be done? Making him be reminded of Lily constantly so he always kept up a hatred of Voldemort....

Maybe I have just read far too much into it XD

I think that's very possible.

I also think Dumbledore didn't allow him the DADA job because he didn't want him to leave after one year. He wanted to keep a watchful eye on him in Hogwarts.

I think it was because Dumbledore being aware of the ~jinx~ on the job that Voldemort had placed on it. And, you know, he would have wanted to keep Snape close, and not risk him by giving him a jinxed job.

Both theories are very probable.

I was really looking forward to that.

When she said that there was more to Petunia than meets the eye, I guess she meant that Petunia wanted to go to Hogwarts.

Well yeah, I think that's pretty obvious, because all this time it was jealousy, as opposed to hatred.

Oh yeah, if she couldn't go, she didn't want Lily to go either, and she was so jealous she wanted to ruin it ll for her.

None of us know, don't worry about it.

I want to know who the 'person performing magic late in life' was.
And I want to know what Lily Potter did for a job.

The sorting hat will go back to sorting, I imagine.
