In HBP, during Aragog’s funeral, Hagrid says “The good die young.” I know that’s kind of vague. But it really made me wonder what’s coming for Harry. Of course, there’s always been a chance that he’ll die. The prophecy says “neither can live while the other survives,” but it doesn’t say that one can exist if the other dies. So maybe they will both have to die. So, is it possible that Hagrid is foreshadowing Harry’s death?
If someone can only get information protected by the fidelius charm from the secret keeper, how did Hagrid rescue Harry from the ruined house after Voldemort’s attack without knowing that Sirius Black WASN’T really the secret keeper?
My friend Shawn claims that Sirius can’t really be dead, even though he seems to be by all accounts. My mom thinks he’ll be back, too. I’ve been reluctant to believe that because going beyond the veil equals death and that’s just what Sirius did. However, I was just rereading PoA and I found a line that I find interesting:
“Harry looked into the shadowed eyes of Sirius Black, the only part of the sunken face that seemed alive. Harry had never met a vampire, but he had seen pictures of them in his Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, and Black, with his waxy white skin, looked just like one.” (Rowling 38)
The Potters and Dumbledore seem to get on very well with “half breeds.” Take Lupin and Hagrid for examples. While being a vampire wouldn’t actually make Sirius a half breed, it amounts to nearly the same thing. So what if Sirius IS a vampire? That could mean that he’d be back. For me, it’s something to think about.
