What If?

Postby LadySnape » Thursday 14 November 2002 10:30:12pm

What if Harry had shaken Draco's hand instead of refusing to? They'd be friends then, right? But would Harry have ended up in Slytherin then? What about Snape? Would he like Harry, being that he was friends with Draco and in Slytherin? This has been bugginh me for a while. What if? What are your views on this?

:???: Oh, good question. The fact that Harry and Draco are friends would probably not convince Snape to like Harry because of his dad. Not really sure. I maen, if Harry was meant for Slytherin, maybe his dad was too. Okay, my head hurts now.

And if he became friends with Draco, would Harry have saved the school so many times?

but its the powers voldemort transfered when he did the curse that give harry the slytherin qualities...cos voldemort was a slytherin so harry being meant to be in slytherin will have nothing to do with what house his dad was meant to be in will it....

That is one of the great questions that will never be answered.

Doesn't this belong in the theories section or something? *shrug*

I don't know . . . I think that if Harry had shaken Draco's hand on the train, he wuoldn't have been Harry . . . he would have been someone entirely different, and the books would have taken a drastic turn.

Wouldn't it be interesting if Harry were actually evil?

Yes, it is more of a <i>Theories</i> topic so it has now been moved to the theories forum.

I've thought a couple of times that Harry can be a bit blunt (for example in Professor Trelawney's class) but that is only very rarely and when he's in a situation that he's just not comfortable with. I don't think he'll turn out evil, but I've a horrible theory that there may be a significant dark aspect to him that he doesn't know about yet.

(edited to change the word <i>Books</i> to <i>Theories</i> ... oops!)

Well, of course he has to have a dark side- didn't some of Voldemort's powers transfer to him when he got his scar? For instance, he's a parslemouth, and he has the brother-wand to Voldemort's. I'm sure he's capable of doing evil. He has a very great potential for either side, I think, which is quite frightening.

but still, if Draco and Harry had shook hands, he would still've been friends with Ron AND he wouldn've went into Gryffindor cuz like Kim said, Voldy's qualitys had been transferred, so I think the sorting Hat would've still put him in Gryffindor!!!

I think if Harry had shaken hands with ol' Draco, Harry woulda seen in time that Slytherin wasn't for him.
