Darth-Ghost posted:Harry was saved the first time because of Lily's blood protection of Harry living on in Voldemort. The Elder Wand did not know Harry was its master until he was duelling Voldemort with Draco's wand, and revealed he had disarmed Draco, and then claimed ownership of the Elder Wand. Wands are described to be quasi-sentient. That's how I understood it, anyways.
Katana_Geldar posted:Good question. But isn't it the spells that rebound? Harry got the scar when the Avada Kedavra rebounded off him. I haven't re-read the book, my sister has it, but IIRC it's the spells that rebound off each other.
Darth-Ghost posted:When he got hit in the chest, the spell didn't rebound, he took it in. He only survived because Lily's protection lived on in Voldemort. The next time, when they were duelling with the Elder Wand, the AK didn't rebound off Harry, but off of Harry's Expelliarmus spell, never touching him. So I don't think there would be any need for another scar.

So I don't think there would be any need for another scar. I thought that scar was the scar of the Death Spell and that Harry was extraordinary because he was the only living person who had it. I think it's probably more likely that there's another scar but in a less visible place than his forehead. Hi back Katana_Geldar! Thanks for the tip!
Darth-Ghost posted:What do you think happened to all the Dementors after Voldemort died? And what exactly does happen person after a Dementor's Kiss? (Does the person still go on living, like an Inferi almost? Is that soul destroyed forever, or is it released when the Dementor dies? Can a Dementor even die?)
NYCitygurl posted:My mom said that the news was saying that there would be three minor deaths and one major one. Turned out there were more than three minor ones, and no major one. I thought that if one of the three got killed off, it would be Ron or Harry. I didn't think she'd kill off Hermione.
