A rarity here from me. First Meta and secondly Snape meta. I'm not expecting this to be a great relevation to proper snapefen but here we go...

What happened to Ron?

2018-09-12T12:21:44Z

For real, he gets awesome moments near the end of the first three books, and then... nothing much. He does awesome things. Holding his own in a duel with Death Eater at the end of HBP and so on, but mostly down played and off-page as it were.

Was it just the comic relief aspect from the movies heading back into the books?

HBP Re-listen

My sunday walk was on a saturday this week. You know what that means. HP Audiobooks and half thought meta-thoughts!

plot idea/thoughts that surely must have been done in fanfic already:
-Slughorn tries to get Harry into the Slug Club when he's grown up/an Auror. Trying to get him to take advise about recruits, getting Gwennog Jones to get Ginny and Harry to come to parties he's at, that kind of thing.
-Neville as a teacher in a similar situation to McGonagell handing out NEWT timetables, encouraging shy, unconfident students and so on.
-Draco gets the dose of Felix Felicis. Does the potion make him lucky in his conscious desires and missions? Or his subconscious? Or the actual greater good? Would he somehow get out from under Voldemort's thumb under it's influence?

HP Wandlore

I was thinking about this on my walk today, as you do and it occurred to me Dragons gets one hell of a rough deal in the wand making business.

I mean trees just get a branch or two cut off. Unicorns? Tail hair grows back I bet. Phoenix feathers? If nothing else it’ll come back on burning day.

But dragons? Heartstring! Literally a bit of it’s heart.

Do wand makers have to get their materials themselves? Ollivander referenced personally plucking a unicorn’s tail so... maybe? Are all wand makers also professional Dragonslayers?

That would explain why it seems to be the least popular core. I can’t think who had a dragon wand in the books, maybe Krum in combination with something else? It always seems to be unicorn hair or something more exotic.
