![]() Harry was the descendant of Godric Gryffindor. Whether it was because they were following Lord Voldemort as in book one or were just spineless cowards like the teacher in book two, there was a serious problem with the class since it couldn’t hold any one teacher for more than a year, if that long. ![]() As a result he cursed the class, and from that point on anyone teaching the class never lasted more than a year since something always seemed to happen to force them out. But he was vain and quite conceited since when he applied for the job he was denied. If you really read this theory you can see just how petulant Voldemort was since as Tom Riddle he was one of the best students that Hogwarts had ever seen. The Defense Against the Dark Arts class was cursed. For Voldemort however it would have likely been just another way to retain his power for that much longer. But others have taken it to mean that once one of them killed the other they would have forfeited their chance to die, which in Harry’s case would be horrible as he’d have to watch his friends and family grow old and pass on. The most popular way is to say that neither Voldemort or Harry could survive while their nemesis was alive, meaning that one of them absolutely had to kill the other in order to survive. This is kind of debatable since the prophecy is capable of being taken either way. Seriously, this is the kind of home you would think a child might run away from and never come back to. That attitude towards magic however could have simply been a contributing factor that the horcrux that lived inside of Harry needed to foster the kind of feelings that the Dursley’s held for him throughout his life. The only thing that might be seen as a strike against it is that Lily’s sister called her a freak when they were children and was firmly set against her to begin with. This actually makes a lot of sense considering that the Dursely’s were simply horrible to Harry his entire life. The Dursley’s were affected by Harry’s status as a horcrux. ![]() With that being said, here are some of the theories that you’ve probably seen at this point. The funny thing is that some of the theories are things that Rowlings likely had no intention of creating and were instituted simply because they made sense, not because she intended them to be there. ![]() ![]() One thing you should know however is that Rowlings no doubt was amazed at the kind of buzz she’d created and likely had no idea that some people would take her writing to such a level that it became an entity all its own. With a film series like Harry Potter you simply knew there would be theories abounding as the rumor mill worked 24/7 to crank out one thought after another, allowing people to make the wildest claims they could think of and let their imaginations go wandering down strange and unknown pathways. ![]()
