In another topic Allender mentioned a couple of characters that JKR has put in her books but will probably never mention again, sort red herrings.  So I was wondering who everyone would like to know more about.  Maybe Dumbledore's older brother and his goats or how Ernie became a bus driver?

I would love to know more about the generation before Lilly and James (yes I am greedy and want a whole era  Wink).  Why are they all dead? Where are the Potters and what happened to all the Black's.  It seems that the majority of wizards have no close family left - Molly is all about family but apart from mentioning dead brothers she appears to have no other relatives.  I can't believe it was just Voldemort that devastated the wizarding community.  I wonder if they are all dead or if they left for somewhere else? 

Anyway I will have another think and try and narrow it down to one character that I want to know everything about but will probably never hear about again  Grin.  So, as Brain would say, who are you pondering?

From what I remember, JK said that the James and Lily's parents died of natural causes, not at the hands of Voldemort and the Death Eaters.  The Blacks do seem to die fairly young, considering wizards are supposed to have a longer lifespan than Muggles.  Perhaps it's all the inbreeding. Roll Eyes  Didn't Ron once mention a squib cousin of Molly's who was an accountant?

I'd like to know more about Aberforth Dumbledore.  I wouldn't be surprised if Harry finally talks to him in DH.

I would love to know about Dumbledore's brother.  The whole Weasley family and the Black family are interesting. 

I remember in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone when Harry looks into the Mirror of Erised, he sees a lot of people, presumably relatives that look very much like him.  I would love to know more about Harry's relatives. Are they really all dead? He described seeing a room full of family...where are they and what happened to them all?  Huh

Exactly. I would love to know where they are or what happened to them...could they be behind the veil as well?

There's so much we NEED to know and only one little book (plus a potential charity book) in which JK still has the chance to share this info  Sad

Mmmmm natural causes for the death of so many people is very convenient  Undecided.  I know it happens - I lost all of my grandparents by the age of 11 but considering the longer life span I do think that is a bit of a cop out.  I know everyone cannot be included in the books but considering so much of the story hinges on the fact that Harry is alone I would love to have had more back ground information.  Who knows, maybe Jo will have withdrawal symptoms and do a prequel  Praying

I'm still trying to decide who I would like lots of information on.  I am leaning towards the Longbottoms - as members of the Order and Ministry employees they would have lots of information about everyone  Grin
