I wanted to see who y'all think could turn on Harry and join the Death Eaters. I personally think, that outa the ones I put up there it could be...Cho, but then again, I don't like her all that much. lol.

i dunno know why I picked Ron. Like a Weasley will ever become a Death Eater, but you never know.

Oooh, tough one. I think there will definitely be a traitor, but I'm not sure that it's likely to be one of the kids.

If I have to choose one of the kids, I'd probably be inclined to go for Neville...I think that when he has a taste of power himself, when he feels what its like to have the strength of magic he has been trying to hard to achieve, he will try and use it to get back at his parents attackers. He'll get so high on the power that he holds to do that, that I think he's of the kind of personality to let it get to him...it won't be enough for him....that makes him ultimately weaker and more vulnerable to what Voldermort could offer him.

Just an idea...I know all you guys are probably gonna bang your heads against your monitors (or TFT screens - if you're lucky!) at the suggestion, but, well....I just see it as a possibility...that's all..

But I voted for Snape - simply because JKR herself seems to be giving the impression that Snape's not all he's cracked up to be and I personally feel that he's been just biding his time all these years, keeping DD sweet...and DD would never know about it because Snape is such a good Occlumens.....

But it's probably neither of these!!! I bet it'll turn out to be someone really obscure...like Dedalus Diggle or Emmeline Vance or someone like that...

In denial of the possibility of it being Snape, I said other. Not sure who though..so I'm a whole lot of use...

I think the idea of the possibility of Neville prolly comes from semi-similarities between him and Peter Pettigrew..maybe...

I think it could be Luna. I read a really convincing Fan Fic by LogicalRaven about this, and she made it seem so possible.

It might be Luna, but JK likes her character, so I dunno.

Out of the people mentioned, I'd have to go with either Neville or Ron... though I honestly hope that it would be neither, and then with Snape I hope the same, and am more doubtful of him being the "traitor" than most others, just because it seems too much the obvious thing for JKR to do.

I don't know if I could call him a traitor or not exactly, but I think the person who is going to betray Harry to Voldemort would be Dudley. He's not exactly the trustworthy sort, and I think that he'd like to have Harry out of his way forever... and isn't above being mean to him. If Dudley wants Harry gone, I'm sure that he'd hand him over to Voldemort in a heartbeat (more food for him LOL) ... but especially if Voldemort promised something great for him in return for his services, and well, odds are, Voldemort would. (like he did to Harry at the end of PS/SS the movie)...

I think Dudley would be too scared to do anyting with Voldy. All I know is that the traitor has to be someone Harrys trusts. Look at Wormtail and how close he was to the Potters and the Order.

I choose other but I really don't know who. I don't see any of the kids doing that. For Snape--Dumbledore trusts him so at this point thats enough for me. Plus Voldemort said one of the death eaters will never return and I believe that to be Snape.

About the possibility of it being Luna...*gulp* though I'm rather a Harry/Luna shipper....the thing that was said about JKR liking her...

Sometimes it can be remarkably liberating to have a character you really like, and is so innocent-seeming and gentle to go over to the dark side...It gives morescope for tradgedy and loyalty-testing and and all kinds of wonderful things...

I really am actually starting to kinda like that idea...Saying that, I DO have a thing for the bad guys...

edit: w00t, 300 posts, I'm a third year!!! Hog's Head, here I come!!!

Congrats on being a 3rd yr. There is nothing wrong with the bad guy or girl, lol. Maybe Luna will be good traitor. 0_0

Since I made this poll I have changed my opinion as to who I think the traitor could be.

Luna is becoming the character I think could turn on Harry. Even though JKR says she's her fav. character. Sometimes the best character is the bad guy. I don't mean best as in good or whatever, just that like maybe Luna was ealier to write for JKR and she seemed so good and all that. And the fact that she tricked everyone.

I mean, Umbridge was a bad guy(girl, I mean) but she was a great character because she could make you hate her so much and she's not even real. (I'd have to say she's one of the best bad guys I've ever read)

Anyway, I'm thinking Luna...

Yeah I have this theory that will never be that Draco will convince Luna to give him information, thus the Luna/Draco ship. And in that she would have become the traitor. though i dont think the traitor will be anyone in Harry's year.

I vote for Neville Longbottom. I forget which character, but a character did say that he looks like Wormtail. He also reminds me of wormtail in a way. Such as him envying Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Just like how Wormtail evnyied James, Sirius, and Lupin. But I also highly doubt Neville will be a tratior (I contradict myself a lot) be of Bellatrix and her causing his parents to go insane.

I dont want to say it, but if he does end up six feet under first, then Ron. He blatently hates being in Harrys "Shadow" and the tension between them is becoming uncontrolable, so i think we're look at a huge duel, that ends with Ronnikins running to voldy-locks

Ron. Ever since i read PS/SS i've thought that, he just seems that way i think, spent all his life being overshadowed. Like in the Mirror of Erised he saw himself outshining them all....i think i've written this before here....*shrugs* oh well no matter.

I don't think any of thos above will ever join Voldemort freely. The'll perhaps be controlated with the imperius curse(that's that rigth one right? I'm norwegian so I'm not sure.) In any case I think Draco,Crab and Goyle will be one of them Harry knows t join Voldemort.. Their parents are DE and it seems to me that Draco,Crab and Goyle are following their fathers footsteps. I'm speaking of how they have developed in they five years at Hogwarts.

I thinks that neville couldn't be a traitor becouse they made his parents crazy and he wants to revange them

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: It's NEVILLE.

Dumbledore will betray harry for some nice socks! his hearts desire!!!!!!!!

Erm, that random kid who explains about what the Grim is in PoA. what other purpose was there of adding a random unnessary character to a film.

i think that it will be a teacher at the school that harry will not suspect or peeves.

I think that the reason why Luna is being considered a candidate is that she is such an unknown quantity at this stage, not to mention that she is just so inherently intriguing that I can't help but think that is possible with Luna.

But with that said, I have always felt a certain mistrust of Ron's jealousy of Harry. Admittedly as the books have advanced it does seem as if, this is waning but it is still a factor that Ron still grapples with and is learning to control. I don't think that he is free of that yet.

And as someone else mentioned earlier, Ron is a lot more ambitious than he appears on the surface. I doubt that Ron would turn to the "dark side" but I could imagine him betraying Harry in a moment of anger, or even inadvertently. The thing about Ron that is unsafe is that he doesn't seem to have a strong sense of self-worth or of who he is yet... I don't think that it's likely but it is a faint possibility

Ginny is also a candidate (though even less likely than Ron). Ginny is in the process of coming into her own and solidifying her identity. I also think back to JK's ironic statment "Poor little Ginny, eh?" Maybe 'little' Ginny might go on to shock everyone.

I think that it's more likely that Harry might be sold down the river by one of the minor characters that keep popping - like Seamus, or Dean, or Ernie or such like. Or maybe it will be one of the girls like Lavender Brown.

Cho is probably a popular candidate but I think that not only would that be terribly obvious, but it would be the literary equivalent of beating a dead horse. We already get that Cho isn't suitable for Harry so it would be unecessary to then turn her into a villain to ensure that we "get" it.

Well, at this moment I am not really sure who will be a traitor. I don't see any of Harry's friends at Hogwarts becoming traitors and I don't think that Snape will be a traitor because DD trusts him. I have a feeling it will be Dudley because he will do anything to have Harry hurt and DD will get him as his ally.

i dont think any of the listed characters would betray DD or Harry and join the Dark Side, not even Snape. But it is likely that some members of the Order (i dont mean Tonks, Moody but someone who we dont know well) would probably be traitors.... i dunno...

I voted for others because I think it's Percy. After he found out that his parents are right, he might have his pride and don't return to the Weasleys. Instead, be with LV.

I think Viktor Krum will turn out to be a death eater. I think it would be great for the ron/hermione thing because she trusted him and all and she would be crushed and then ron would be there to comfort her!!!! I also think that Percy is going to turn out to be evil and work for He-who-must-not-be-named (Voldemort)

I have a feeling that it might also be Percy. But it is only a small probability. These are the two options Percy has:

1) Accept he was wrong, return to his family and join the Order.
2) Let pride get the better off him and think he was right and join LV.

I think Seamus will turn on Harry...

I think it will be Colin Creevey. He is always taking pictures of Harry, showing up around Harry alot, and probably takes pictures of him without his knowledge.

out of all the people mentioned there I think snape is the most likely although the new talk about Percy could be true..I mean he could be doing stuff for Voldemort and not even know he is doing work for him the way he follows his "boss"...hummm

i think it's cho.
liking harry is all a diversion i think

for some weird reason i think it's cho

I've said it before, in another thread somewhere.

It going to be Percy I tell you!!!

I don't know why I chose Genny but I think it might fit. I mean she is a girl in a home fild wiht boys and she is the yungist. That could make her a little messed up in the head after so many years. Who knows. I think I would be just fine if she turned evil.

I don't know, I don't really think any of them, definately not Harry, hopefully not Ron, probably not Hemrione, I don't think so, Neville. Wait, Neville. Wow, I'd never thought of that one before, he is becoming more powerful. Maybe Voldemort will say he'll bring his parents to health if he joins him, and Harry will end up killing him.

Hmmm, I'm interested to hear what people think now???


I did mine by a process of elimination.... I don't think it will be a Weasley. Even Percy, who likes power, isn't going to achieve it by aligning himself with 'the enemy'. Plus he's too fond of the ministry and the 'rules'. The others are involved in the order and too fond of Harry to become an enemy.

I don't think it's Hermione. She's worked too hard on getting herself- and others- prepared in DADA, such as convincing Harry to form the DA. Plus the 'Mudblood' feature is too stong for her. No matter how smart she is, Voldemort isn't about to give her power and I think she knows that.

Neville- Voldemort is the reason that he, like Harry, doesn't really have his parents. He's not about to go on the cheer squad for that.

Dean and Seamus- This was a little harder. Seamus was in the position where his mother wanted him to stay home because she didn't believe that Voldemort had returned. She didn't want to be aligned with Harry and Dd, but that doesn't mean that she was with Voldemort. Dean is Half Blood, which we only know from outside sources of JKR. I can't see either of them being in an agreeable position to be working with Voldemort.

Snape- I believe that all of the stuff regarding HBP is a coverup. I believe that he is innocent despite what is portrayed.

Which leaves Cho, Luna or an 'Other'. Given that Cho had her boyfriend killed by Voldemort, I can't see her going across. So it must be an 'other'. I can see Krum turning out to be a Death Eater, but I also think that it's unlikely. Probably noone who was a member of the DA. Which rules out a whole bunch of people. So of that, I'll stick with Krum.

I'm with you Pixymajik -- out of those I'd choose Krum. I don't think Snape is as evil as he's being portrayed. Granted, he can be a total weasel, but it could be part of a over. Although it was pretty convincing when Dumby begged for his life, but I keep wondering about what it was that he drank from the basin when they were hunting for the Horcrux. What WAS that stuff? Did it have special powers? Did it some how block the Avada Kedavra curse????

I dunno...

Ooooh, that is a hard one. I am not picking Snape because I for one believe he is still good. I am sure there were things between Dumbledore and Snape that we don't know..

Anyway, that is a whole other topic. Out of the kids you listed, I am unfortuneately going to pick Neville. I think that they will capture him and he will voluntary or involuntary betray Harry.

I voted for Dean, But I haven't got a good reason why I voted for him. I do believe that eventually someone will turn on the evil side, but I haven't got a clue who that could be. Dean sounds reasonable to me.

It has to be snape. And snape did kill dumbledore. Snape is a cold and sometime heartless man who hates harry.

i voted for ginny. i'm almost positive that she slipped harry a love poition in the 6th book...ever notice that every time she goes near harry he smells flowers? well, love potions smell different to every person and i thought that it was interesting that harry just happened to smell flowers many of the times that ginny was mentioned. also, what if she crossed over way back in the second book? okay...here's a wild idea...what if when harry "killed" the horocurx(sp?) in the diary it didn't actually "die" but instead posessed ginny? no...that is certianly impossible...nevermind. anyway...i think that ginny will betray harry.

I'm going with Ginny. She's been living in the shadows of all her brothers and has always been treated like a little girl. After Harry broke up with her "to protect her", she may just draw the line. She also seems to be the kind of person who likes being in the spotlight. I don't have any other reason other than those, but those are good enough reasons for me.

I honestly don't think it could possibly be Neville or Ron. Neville's parents were tortured to insanity by Voldemort. Although not directly, it was his Death Eaters and most likely under his orders. Also, I doubt he would want to work along side the person who took part in the torture of his parents (Bellatrix Black-Lestrange).

I don't think it's Ron because he's always been loyal to Harry. Even when they were fighting, he still cared about Harry and he came to his senses as soon as he realized that Harry was in true danger. If Ron does end up playing some part in Harry being betrayed, I think it will be accidental.

I also believe that Dumbledore ordered Snape to murder him. Who here really believes that Dumbledore would beg for his life? Not me. & I'm sure Dumbledore was powerful enough to the point where, even in a worse case scenario, he could have done something to protect himself if he had really want to. ALSO, if Dumbledore was truly in danger, wouldn't Fawkes have come to his rescue? Fawkes had come to Harry when he was in trouble, it only seems logical that he would have come to Dumbledore's side at a time like that.

Just my thoughts. Let me know what you think.

Obviously Cho. The only reason why she joined the D.A. was because she was sad Cedric died and liked Harry. But you know how crazy she is. She'd probobly join Voldy just to kill Harry.

I said no one out of that list, but it could very well be Snape seeing as most the time it looks like he is just saving his own butt. Not to mention he could very well already be a traitor.

i said other because i don't think anyone on that list would turn against Harry. Marietta Edgecomb from OOTP would be my guess. she's already proven to be a snitch, and against Harry, i have no doubt she would do it again to get back at him and Hermione for the whole acne incident.
i still don't know what to think about Snape, but i don't think we're through with surprises out of him.

I don't know. I suppose Cho and Seamus seem most likely. But Rowling likes to surprise us so it could be Ron! I hope it is none of them.

at first i was gonna say neville because i just thought that he join voldy because of the prophecy to gain up on harry. but then i thought,
"would neville really be stupid enough to join voldemort?" i just cant imagine neville being on his side.

I can't see any of them betraying Harry.
Although, I do get the feeling that Neville might be persuaded to briefly join Voldemort - but will later find the strength to resist him and die trying to save the Order.

i voted for snape becausw well snape knew harry only had dumbleodre left and then snape killed him so i think snape doesn't care about harry in any way. so i think snspe is the traitor but that is just me and some thing else people are saying neville would join voldemort now..wait why would he join voldemort...when voldemort gave the orders to make neviles parents go mad or insane neville's parents dont even know who he is any more why would neville want to go with the guy whjo did that to his parents.i don't get it
