I dunno. I liked Shepherd's point. That's a pretty good hook for...well. Something. It's one of those ideas that could be awesome if a
fanfic author with magical powers of non-suck ran with it.
Personally, though, when it comes to reading between the lines of canon, I like the theory a buddy and I came up with. Alcohol may have been involved. I
forget.
See, it's apparent to us that all the Harry Potter books are merely the collected delusions of a very troubled boy. You see, clearly Harry's relatives
are right. He is a freak. He's mumbling about magic all the time and attacking his family with a stick. They've had to lock him up in
his room for everyone's protection.
Especially after that time when he was 12...he got into the kitchen somehow, and stabbed his uncle with a carving knife. While screaming something about a
giant serpent...
Mr. Dumbledore from the local council's social services department has been understanding about the case during his regular visits. But the authorities
have concluded it's probably best for all involved that young Mr. Potter remain in his relatives' care for the time being. The council is trying to
arrange for proper psychiatric treatment, but the UK's National Health Service isn't the swiftest body around...
