I guess I'll take the bait... why would the scion of a "pure-blood" wizarding family be assigned to breed with someone whose parents are both Muggles? Seems antithetical to the Death Eaters' aims.
- wincy 3y agoMy wife’s response, verbatim, she thinks it’s hilarious that I mentioned it here. “Okay, so it was explained that Lord V didn’t actually care about pure blood, he was a mud blood himself. That was just to get the pure blood families on board with his revolution. And he didn’t actually care about the babies, it was just that Malfoy was a really good mind reader (I forget the technical term) and he wanted Hermione’s hidden memories to root out all the secret members of the order. But the wizard pop culture was really into the babies so it was more of a PR thing.“ She said she highly appreciated the realistic political stuff in the book. Anyway this is as much thought as I’m willing to put into this topic, you’re welcome to search “Manacled Harry Potter” if you really want to learn more.
