I'm pretty sure that was Hermione.

Red herring.

I thought it was that ALL of the horcruxes were updated to 2.0.

From the description of HPMOR's horcrux spell, it won't work unless a witch/wizard is killed.

Edit: didn't see Nornagest's post.

The prophecy was only heard by Severus and Minerva.

Yours isn't the first I've seen guessing that ; it makes more sense than it being any OTHER Death Eater's arm.

Of course women would be smarter about sexual "utopias" than men. I mean no offense, biologically women have to be less impulsive about that sort of thing.

Hell, it wasn't even considered committed in the 80s. Although I suppose different regions may have changed faster, in the South in the late 80s/early 90s, "going out" was what we said for "going steady", while "dating" implied a more casual relationship. (And the actual term 'dating' was rarely used - I remember being asked, "you guys messin'?" after a couple dates with a boy.)

So yes, true.

Her maiden canon name is Black, not completely arbitrary.

My head canon is that Riddle seduced his own DADA professor when he was a 6th year, so when he investigated Baba Yaga's death that narrative rang true to him.

Lucius said that his own Dark Mark didn't "truly bind [him]" since he was Imperiused. Voldy could prove that bit, but that might be revealing a bit much...

'it' in Quirrell's rant is the true name dealio, not the Maurauder's Map.

The story does feel like voldy saying 'when I was 16 I seduced a teacher, I bet that's how Baba Yaga died too.'

The Longbottoms were tortured into "insanity", but their canon appearance in St. Mungo's looks far more like brain damage from Cruciatus. And lots of Obliviates seem to cause brain damage as well. Breaking a FMC on Bertha Jorkins in book 4 ended up killing her.

I think that's more likely Quirrell actively casting that causes the anxiety.

Well some of it is faked, but he didn't intend to get caught drinking Unicorns.

But that's the first time Potter sees their magic interact, so what effect did Quirrell fake?

Perhaps this is how Potter will "be seen to once again defeat the Dark Lord"? (re: ch65-66)

I find it highly unlikely that he faked the Avada Kedavra/Patronus effect in Azkaban...

All of them, as this is the first time Q hasn't turned into his Snake form first...
