i received email from my good friend k10 the other day regarding harry's father, james. she postulates that james was once the defense against the dark arts (hereby dubbed DADA) professor at hogwarts. expounding further, there's the possibility that james and snape were up for the job at the same time (potions was also an open seat that year) and dumbledore appointed james instead of snape. it's mentioned several times in the books that dumbledore felt that snape would make a better potions teacher.. that the DADA job would bring out the worst qualities in snape.

so what if this was also a furtherance of the animosity that snape feels towards james.. could it be that harry gets his evil battling skill from james? his mother, lilly, was skilled at charms.. this would be a very powerful combination in genes i say.

some news on the next potter movie, "harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban", which is my personal favorite of all the books.. the trailer will be released on november 14th. there's also rumor that the first draft of book six will be to the editor by january!
