Is this Illyria, Lady? Because it sure as hell doesn't bear much resemblance to it. It doesn't even look like Harry Potter, for crying out loud. I think we may be witnessing a new low over at [livejournal.com profile] midsummerfest



Hey! Look!

I hope whoever buys it puts up a good scan of the whole thing. Of course, all the pureblood familes being related, I'm not surprised to see a Crouch, a Yaxley, a Flint and a Bulstrode on there. It's interesting that a Burke is, though; either the family or the business has degenerated quite a bit since then, I'd say. It looks like one Dorca [Black] (I assume, as her mother was Violetta Bulstrode so her father must be the child of Phineas and Ursula) married a Charles (or is is Charlas?) Potter, while her cousin Callidora Black married Harfang Longbottom. Could these be Harry's and Neville's paternal grandparents? The dates are about right. Except, of course, that Neville's paternal grandmother's name is Augusta, not Callidora. Perhaps these are the parents of the infamous Uncle Algie, then?

While this is very interesting, it has gone against what she has written in OOTP.

Why didn't Harry notice his own name? He is verging on obsessive about his father (just like Riddle was with his). Why wouldn't he notice Potter on the darn thing?

Eyeroll.

Good point, though it seems that the Potter branch would be on the other side of the tree from Sirius's immediate family. More to the point, why wouldn't Sirius have pointed it out?

The only reaon was that JKR didn't have in mind that they had family ties at this point. If she did, she didn't want to write about it in OOTP.

Unless.

That is why Kreacher does recognize Harry as heir to the Black house. Even if he is only distantly related, the inheritance can still hold.

Anyway there are so many loose ends. I'm not confident that she will get to all of them in book 7.

But surely there's a closer relative than Harry, though.
