Animagi

[highsorcerer]

I was wondering about the scene where Dumbledore used the device to show the two snakes. Plus Harry's speculation that Voldemort might be a snake animagi.

Could it be possible that Voldemort is a snake animagus, and, like the ability to speak parseltounge, was transferred to Harry as well?

Transferring the ability to transform into a snake seems a little hard, since it takes yrs to be an animagus. I doubt Harry could become a snake animagus although part of Voldemort's legacy is passed to him. It is a good point though. (i might be wrong)

I agree with Choki cos it is suposed to take years to become an animaigi, but I think voldermort could be one.

Hmm... good thought, Voldie being a snake animagus... perhappers. But let's not have Harry going snakey on us!! If he's gonna be an animagus -- which i think is actually a distinct possibility -- I hope he's something cool. His Patronus is a stag, maybe he'll follow in his father's footsteps. But if animagi-ship was based on your patronus, we'd have Hermione as an otter (JK's favorite animal, by the way!) and that would be ODD!

I haven't made up my mind about Voldemort being animagus... but I feel strongly that Harry is not... I think Harry is Metamorphmagus like Tonks, but doesn't know it yet. There was something in the first book about Petunia cutting his hair and it growing back the next day. I think he used this power and just didn't realize it.

LV does not need to be an Animagus. He can transfer his mind to any amimal at will. Why be one when you can be all of them.

I'll bet the creatures of that Albanian forest are glad he's gone:)

Hrmmm, about Voldie transfering his mind to aminals at will... that's not entirely correct... He did that int hat forest ebcause he didnt' ahve a body... so he basically slipped his floating whatever he was into the body of the aminal (ususally a snake) and took over controll...

Well, at least that's how I understood it anyways...

Thats also how I understood it. For some reason he liked snakes the most, although surely there are more useful creatures in the albanian forest!

Good then, it wasn't just me who thought that!

He likes snakes because he can speak parseltounge! (And becuase he's a realyl freaky guy!)

From the discussion before, Harry didnt' actually transform or anythign like that when he was in the Snake's body in his dream (with Mr Weasley, etc) becuse Ron said that his body was there the whole time... remember!

But, as highsorcerer mentioned in the first post, has anyone els ebeen wondering about what that weird contraption that DD was using with the two snakes was??? Because every time I read that, I wonder, and have come up with absolutely nothing...

harry didn't bite mr weasly of course, but from what we know, harry has only dreamed of what happens to LV, and so, I think that that snake was LV, and therefore, harry could very well have received the possibilitie to transform from LV

I think that it is said that the snake is actually Nagini (Voldie's snake) and he is "just" possessing it.

I find that theory interesting. I would like Harry to be a Metamorphmagus (once I read about Tonks, I wanted Harry to be like her) but I haven't anything that could justify it. Now that you tell about that particular scene in the first book, i think it is possible for him to be one of that kind.

Sorry the double post! I think I might rearrange my previous post...

~Just wonder about ev'rything... It's good to your mind~

I'd say that I'd have to agree with this! Voldie obviously learnt how to posess small aminals during his time in that Albanian or wherever forest when he had no body, and I think that he retained this skill when he got his body back. Harry though, would not have had this passed onto him by Voldie as, I'm guessing, he learnt it in that forest, which was after the scar incident, so yeah!

About Harry being a Metamorphmagus like Tonks... well, I beliefy though about it while reading OotP the first time, and did think of that hair thing in PS, but then... I kinda decided that I dont' agree. It would just get anoying if Harry got every new talent and or skill that we heard about... Know what I mean? And Tonks said that they are very rare after all...
