Oddities and Coincidences



We realize that we are probably overanalyzing some things with this page, but we saw several running bits in the books that we thought were worth mentioning. We also had fun pouring through the books searching them out.

Beware, spoilers abound!

Long Fingers -- Voldemort, Dumbledore, Snape, Mr. Ollivander, Sibyll Trelawny, Dobby and Goblins are all frequently described as having long fingers (Voldemort's are described as "unnaturally" long). Could long fingers be a sign of magical power?

Other Oddities -- In the "enormous, old" reference book where Flamel is mentioned, it says that he was 665 years old as of "last year." That means he was the big 666 when the book was published.




If you have found any oddities or coincidences please send them to Ryan and they will be featured here.

Quotes
Professor Trelawney broke into hysterical sobs during Divination and announced to the startled class, and a very disapproving Umbridge, that Harry was not going to suffer an early death after all, but would live to a ripe old age, become Minister of Magic, and have twelve children.

Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 26, Page 582
