What do you mean by an Ilvermony house?? It's there on Pottermore and I don't know what it really is!

At the end of book 6, Harry expresses to Ron and Hermione his desire to visit Godric's Hollow, as that is where he was born and where his parents are buried. My question is...

How does Harry know this? I've read the series many times, and I can't recall any instance where Godric's Hollow is mentioned in Harry's presence.

Why doesn't any one book mention fees?? Students ought to pay fees to the school for teaching them and teachers ought to receive their salary. Or is this all free?? What about Harry's fees?? He has no parents to pay them, nor do they mention him paying.... I'm confused

Is it true that Snape and Voldemort made an Unbreakable_Vow where Voldemort agrees that he wouldn't kill Lily when he goes to kill Harry?? If yes, which book is this mentioned in??

The prophecy made sometime before Harry's birth was the reason Voldemort set off to kill him. But why was it necessary to kill James and Lily?? Especially James?? What did he even doo???

(the previous one is on my profile)

When wizards decide to become ghosts, will they remain as a ghost forever?? Can they go to heaven after they are over with their attachment on earth??

How can some wizards become ghosts while some can't?? Is there a certain spell for it?

At the end of Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix, Prof. Dumbledore says that Sybill was not as gifted in seeing/predicting the future as her great-great-grandmother. But Prof. Trelawney (very rarely) does predict the exact future. Like how she predicted Voldemort's rise with the help of his loyal servant and the prophecy. I didn't understand this part. She goes all weird while predicted things like the above 2. But otherwise, she's more...normal. Like seriously, what's wrong with her??

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, after its proved that Winky couldn't have conjured the Dark Mark, Barty Crouch decides to punish her for not obeying him and staying in the tent, and says, "This means clothes." What does he mean by this??

We all know that a Boggart turn into the thing we fear the most. But, what if a Boggart is a person's most horrifying thing? We can, then, see the it's real form, can't we??
