In this topic we can put the questions that Rowling didn´t give an answer about HP life, his predecessors or succesors. We can also solve the doubts of the person who hasn´t got all the dates and share opinions. For example a list of questions (a part from HarryLatino, MuggleNet, HPF and another part from my ideas):
1)How the wizards invent his spells?
2)Has Harry ever visited the Snape portrait?
3)Which are the twelve uses of dragon blood?
4)What did Dumbledore do during the 24 hours in which Harry was taken to Privet Drive?
5)Who are the Hogwarts teachers married? Have they children?
6)What happened to Dean after the Battle of Hogwarts?
7)How much tickets cost to the World Cup?
8)What happens to little witches and wizards that are born with disabilities (not necessarily mental)?
9)Was Snape ever dating anyone?
10)What happened with Snape body after he died? Did they brought him back to Hogwarts?
11)Will Hermione and Ron be remembered as important historical figures, along with Harry in the wizarding world?
12) What are the names of Hermione's parents?
13) At Which houses did the next generation enter? Did ASP enter at Gryffindor or Slytherin?

1) What happened to Dean after the Battle of Hogwarts?
2) What happened to the Malfoys?
3) How much tickets cost to the World Cup?
4) Do they have diseases such as cancer or HIV? If so, what is their treatment for it?
5) What happens to little witches and wizards that are born with disabilities (not necessarily mental)?
6) Does Hogwarts have special accommodations for such students?
7) How do children learn to read and write by the time they go to Hogwarts?
7) They are educated in their houses or they go to muggle schools.
My question are:
1. Were the teachers had other places to stay when they're not in Hogwarts?
2. Was Snape ever dating anyone?
3. Was Snape having insomnia? (I know it's a silly question, but I wonder about that when I watch POA. I mean did he just happen just to walk around the hall in the middle of the night, when he saw Harry?)
4. How many teachers of Defence Against The Dark Art Hogwarts ever had?
5. Did Hermione ever reunite with her parents?
6. What happened with Snape body after he died? Did they brought him back in Hogwarts?
7. Why some comeback as Ghost, but some didn't (this is probably in the book, but I didn't remember)
8. Why Hogwarts pictures and painting could talk and the others can't (For example Harry's parents).
9. Why not Dumbledore give his picture to Harry along with his will, so he COULD advice them what to do?
10. Would Moaning Myrtle always be Hogwarts ghost forever?
If some of my question already answered in a book, please do let me know. I am not English native speaker (I am sure you can tell), but since Order of the Phoenix, I had to read those in English.
Wah-wah! Here comes the sun http://www.miedy.com/ (my personal website)
4) We don´t know (I doubt Rowling knows that) but Galatea was fifty years as teacher before Voldemort makes his "curse".
5) Yes she did.
8) Because one are pictures or photographs and others are portraits (this can talk)
9) Because he has to give his portrait not his picture.
:-)) :-)) :-))
2. No, I don't think so.
4. Well, we know about Merrythought, Quirell, Lockhart, Lupin, Moody, Umbridge, and Snape. There was probably another teacher who held the position for thirty years before Voldemort cursed it.
3. He was probably patrolling the castle at night to check if any student was out of bed.
5. Yes, she did.
6. He was probably buried at Hogwarts.
7. People who're scared of death, come back as ghosts. People who're not afraid to die, "move on".
8. Portraits can talk, pictures can't. That is why you never see pictures in the Daily Prophet talking, they just move.
9. Firstly, a picture can only move. Portraits can talk. And secondly, Dumbledore would've wanted Harry to figure out stuff by himself. If he wanted to advice him, he would've given him exact instructions BEFORE he died.
10. Yes, she will.
Though I have a little problem with "Dumbledore would've wanted Harry to figure out stuff by himself." Because this such dangerous time involving Voldemort and MANY people could die, he should give the direction as clear as possible.
Of course, it would be less interesting, if everything was so direct.
Wah-wah! Here comes the sun http://www.miedy.com/ (my personal website)
The direct reply: As you said, it would be less interesting and too easy for Harry.
JK answer: How will Harry enter to Hogwarts and talk with Dumbledore´s portrait?
So delete the direct reply and you have the true answer.
Now, as far as the Deathly Hallows concerned, here's a quote from "King's Cross" :
“Can you forgive me?” he said. “Can you forgive me for not trusting you? For not telling you? Harry, I only feared that you would fail as I had failed. I only dreaded that you would make my mistakes. I crave your pardon, Harry. I have known, for some time now, that you are the better man.”
So, Dumbledore did not want Harry to have clear instructions about the Hallows. He wanted him to figure it out by himself.
"I was scared that, if presented outright with the facts about those tempting objects, you might seize the Hallows as I did, at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons. If you laid hands on them, I wanted you to possess them safely."
Remember, Harry is the Master of Death.
My wish is to read Order of The Phoenix/HBP/DH again in my native language *sigh*

How many students were at hogwarts?
How did they know muggle children would have magical abilities, and how did they find them?
Would Harry become minister?(that would be awesome to see)
What did Luna do after?(it would be great to have her as a teacher)
10 students (5 boys + 5 girls) x 7 years = 70 students in one house
70 students x 4 houses = 280 students
So, I think 280 could be the minimum number of students, but it could be 560 if it was to be doubled.

Well, as of 2007, he is head of the Auror Dept., and I assume he's still in that position!
I added to the list the unanswered questions and thanks Pensieve Seeker for the information of the dragon blood!
About the eleventh question, I think that they would be recognised at the chromes and would be mention to the books but the glory is for Harry.
10)What happened with Snape body after he died? Did they brought him back to Hogwarts?
This is an interesting question.
There definitely would be some sort of a State Funeral for him, as well as for the others who died fighting the Death Eaters, facing Voldemort, etc. Of course many people would attend his funeral, especially the Students, because regardless of how they felt about him, he was their Professor, a member of the Staff, etc. Yeah, I even see the Malfoys attending the Funeral. He did help Narcissa in Spinners End and did help Draco.
I think there are probably only two places they would bury Snape. Either, in Godric's Hollow or near Dumbledore, because Snape too was a fallen hero/headmaster.
So another question? We have already had thirteen.
----------------------------------
Also to reply to who would attend his funeral. Yes, I do think a lot of people from Hogwarts would attend. As for the Malfoy's; doubt it. I'm pretty sure Lucius was brought to Azkaban following the Battle of Hogwarts. Although he did help Malfoy, but that was too protect him from Voldemort. I doubt people who would have attended the funeral would have put up with Malfoy there. He was a death eater after all.
