Alright, I'm not entirely sure if this is a co-incidence or not... I know vol de mort means "theft of death" in French, but the name also sounds eerily similar to the German word Völkermord, meaning "genocide".

Some of these fit really well...

Harry Potter - the ruler of home pottered around

Ronald Weasley - weasel who gives advice to the ruler

Hermione Granger - pile of stones and granaries

Ginevra Weasley - white phantom who is a weasel

Neville Longbottom - the new town has a long bottom

Luna Lovegood - the moon loves good

Albus Dumbledore - white bumblebee

Tom Marvolo Riddle - the twin wondered at the riddle

Voldemort - theft of death

Draco Malfoy - basilisk of bad faith

Severus Snape - stern and hard upon

Minerva McGonagall - wisest daughter of the brave

Rubeus Hagrid - harrased and tormented with red nightmares

Bellatrix Lestrange - the strange female warrior

James Potter - he held his heel and pottered around

Sirius Black - the absence of light burned

Remus Lupin - the wolf was raised by a wolf

Peter Pettigrew - the rock grew small

So, I'm getting a lot of videos in my recommended section caled something along the lines of "Sad Harry Potter Facts", which are mostly made up of random headcanons, and people in the comments seem to think they are real.

For example:

"Harry drew a picture of him and his parents when they were little but Uncle Vernon ripped it apart."

"Percy would often go to Fred's grave and tell him jokes that he knew Fred would laugh at if he was alive."

"Harry and Ginny visited Aunt Petunia after marriage and she amlost [sic] fainted thinking they were Lily and James."

"Every year on Colin Creevey's birthday Harry would sign a picture of himself and put it on his grave."

"Harry searched for the [Ressurection] Stone for the Weasleys so they could see Fred one more time."

"When Draco was young, he played with Dobby because he didn't have any other friends."

"Molly filled in for Lily at Harry's mother/son dance" (this appeared in two videos)

"Petunia was at Harry's wedding, crying because Lily couldn't see it" (hmm the headcanons are contradicting each other)

"Lily Potter was pregnant with her second child when she died. She finally convinced James to work it out with Severus, and they were going to make Severus the godfather" (if this was true then snape's loathing for harry would make no sense)

"When Fred died, Molly accidentally made a sweater that had an 'F' on it so she had to give it to Fleur"

"When Teddy is sad or scared an he's crying, Harry tells him stories and shows him pictures of his parents. It's then that he calms down and his hair turns back to normal"

And finally...

"Draco was the only one who called Moaning Myrtle by her real name, Elizabeth"

In Chapter 6 of Order of the Phoenix, this is said "They were crammed with an odd assortment of objects: a selection of rusty daggers, claws, a coiled snakeskin a number of tarnished silver boxes with languages Harry could not understand and, least pleasant of all, an ornate crystal bottle with a large opal set into the stopper, full of what Harry was quite sure was blood."

John Williams was composing Chamber of Secrets, Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, Minority Report, and Catch Me If you Can at the same time, so he relied on William Ross to re-arrange themes from the Philosopher's Stone when John Williams didn't have time to score a scene.

There was a mix-up at some point, where Ross ended up being handed the wrong theme, which means the Quidditch scene in Chamber of Secrets is scored with music from Attack of the Clones.

After reading the Tales of Beedle the Bard, I have a theory that "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot" was based on Hardwin Potter. It says his father cured Muggle neighbours with potions, which fits Linfred of Stinchcome, Hardwin's father. The story may have been passed down in the Potter family, gradually becoming distorted, until there was a Potter who knew Beedle, who told him the story, and Beedle decided to put it in his collection. This could also have been how Beedle found out about "The Tale of the Three Brothers," which could also have been passed down through the Potter family, as Hardwin Potter's wife was Iolanthe Peverell.

Edit: When I say this I mean why everyone called him You-Know-Who instead of Voldemort, not Tom Riddle.

Probably the same reason why mentioning *hem hem* National Socialist stuff can get you kicked out of places on the internet.

So, as we all know, Voldemort accidentally put part of his soul in Harry. If Harry got the Dementor's kiss, what would happen? Would it suck Harry and Voldemort's soul out? Would it only suck Harry's out? And if it only sucked Harry's out, what would happen? Would Voldemort completely take control of Harry's body?
