Talk:Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Godric's Hollow

I think the author should re-read all the information about the night that the Potter's were killed, and what happened to Voldemort. In everything that I have read, and from JKR's interviews, Voldemort did not curse Harry. The curse rebounded upon Voldemort while cursing Lily, according to what Dumbledore tells Snape, and what JKR verifies. When the curse rebounded, and hits Voldemort, a piece of his soul was cleaved from the whole, and attaches itself to Harry, creating the scar. One can negate what Hagrid said, as he didn't really know. Dumbledore's words, and JKR is what one should go by in cannon.

Last, JKR said in an interview, that the house in Godric's Hollow did not belong to the Potter's, but did not state who it belonged to. It might be good to add this fact in the text that alludes to it. --Craxd (discuss • contribs) 03:36, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
 * No. Please check your references before you make concrete statements like this. The Prince's Tale, DH:33, UK / Canada p. 550 says
 * 'Tell him that on the night Lord Voldemort tried to kill him, when Lily cast her own life between them as a shield, the Killing Curse rebounded upon Lord Voldemort, and a fragment of Voldemort's soul was blasted apart from the whole...'
 * While it does say, as we have known from long before, that Lily's sacrifice had protected him, it does not say that it was rebounding from Lily when it killed Voldy. It does not say who was being cursed at the time the spell rebounded.
 * And more completely, straight from Voldemort's memory, DH:17, UK / Canada p. 281-282.
 * "The green light flashed around the room and she dropped like her husband. The child had not cried all this time, he could stand, clutching the bars of his cot, and he looked up into the intruder's face with a kind of bright interest, perhaps thinking it was his father who hid beneath the cloak, making more pretty lights, and his mother would pop up any moment, laughing &mdash;
 * "He pointed the wand very carefully into the boy's face: he wanted to see it happen, the destruction of this one, inexplicable danger. The child began to cry: it had seen he was not James. He did not like it crying, he hasd never been able to stomach the small ones' whining in the orphanage &mdash;
 * "'Avada Kedavra!'
 * "And then he broke: he was nothing, nothing but pain and terror, and he must hide himself..."
 * That would seem to me to be conclusive evidence that (a) Voldy did curse Harry, and (b) that was the point where the curse rebounded upon Voldy. Dumbledore couldn't know, he wasn't there, and JKR has exhibited the occasional lapse in memory when discussing the books, notably in GoF where she has Lily and James exiting Voldy's wand in the wrong order. In my opinion, the reference for canon must be the books, as printed, allowing for occasional revisions to correct flints.
 * As to ownership of the house, that is not particularly germane... but could be added easily enough. Chazz (talk) 04:29, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
