Quote:And that makes me wonder -- what did Harry's parents do to get that huge fortune that's sitting there in Gringott's? Inherit? His mother came from Muggle stock, given his aunt and the things she said; not much chance of a wizarding legacy there. I don't remember if we've ever heard about his father, but if the Potters were particularly wizarding-rich to begin with, surely we'd've heard about it by now. I wonder if this is a future plot point...
Probably because the only two wizards we've seen who weren't particularly poor (well, aside from Hermione, who never makes much of the fact that a pair of medical professionals must make oodles) were Malfoy and Harry.

Cruciatus. Imperious. At least for the sorts as I'd imagine Snape's folks were.
Quote:Oh, Lucius Malfoy will do that all by himself without the House Elves...
Well, obviously the particular provocation would have to be something that not only -pushes- his buttons, but outright -leans- on them. Possibly involving Malfoy, and House Elves.
