Did Aunt Petunia know Snape?
Petunia first met Severus Snape during their childhood. She was the sister of Lily Evans, but Petunia was a Muggle, unlike her sister.
Why didnt Hagrid tell Harry about how do you get on the platform?
Hagrid just plain forgot that Harry would have no way of knowing how to get onto the platform. He wasn’t the most clear-thinking character in the series, despite his other great qualities, and I get the idea that introducing muggle-raised kids to the wizarding world wasn’t normally his responsibility.
Who gave Aunt Petunia the howler?
Albus Dumbledore
Letter information This howler was written by Albus Dumbledore to Petunia Dursley on 2 August, 1995, to remind her “of the pact she had sealed by taking Harry Potter” into her home.
Why did Mrs Weasley ask what the platform number was?
And it is a large station. Since they were late, Molly was anxious about reaching the platform on time. She was looking around for 9 and 3 quarters and asked about the platform to find out where they were at that particular moment, to see how much farther they had to go.
Why did Hagrid leave Harry?
It is revealed during the series that Hagrid attended Hogwarts while Tom Riddle was also a student at the school, and that Hagrid was expelled during his third year (because Riddle, in his pre-Lord Voldemort days, framed him for opening the Chamber of Secrets).
What was Dumbledore’s last to Petunia?
Howler
A Howler from Dumbledore, addressed to Petunia, said ‘Remember my last’ – no doubt referring to the letter which he left with baby Harry, on the doorstep of Privet Drive. But there was another occasion when Albus had a reason to write, and it had long-lasting consequences.
How did Aunt Petunia find out about the Dementors?
After Dudley is attacked by Dementors, Aunt Petunia lets slip that she knows more about the wizarding world than she lets on. When Vernon sees the state his son is in after a run-in with these creatures, he asks Harry what Dementors are.
Why doesn’t Petunia tell Harry about Snape’s owl?
While we know that Vernon doesn’t actually know about it, we find out later, in Snape’s memory in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, that Petunia was actually on Platform 9 3/4 when her sister went off to Hogwarts. So she does know about it but chooses not to tell Harry because she thinks it’s funnier if he’s just stranded there with his owl.
Is Aunt Petunia the most misunderstood character in Harry Potter?
In the Harry Potter universe, Aunt Petunia is no one’s favorite character. However, there are some fans out there who would argue that Petunia is just misunderstood. Growing up, she was always overshadowed by Lily, her magical sister.
Why does Aunt Petunia want to look through the curtains?
The latter of which is referencing Aunt Petunia’s relentless need to peer through the curtains to spy on (and gossip about) her neighbors. Petunia tries to avoid the wizarding world at all costs. Despite her best efforts, however, she is still forced into random meetings with various witches and wizards.
