What I would like to be revealed is everything that is in Dumbledore's mind. To have a go into his pensieve, in short.

Cause truly, this wizard seems to know a lot, and his "revelations" were a bit narrow-sighted, in the end ...

So, Dumbledore, what have you in store ?

I'd like to find out why the Order couldn't stop Bellatrix in the MoM, in the end she was outnumbered, it was Lupin, Shacklebolt, Dumbledore, Moody against her..

And I want to know why the Deat Eathers who were captured after Voldemort was defeated the first time, weren't sentenced to death (because there was a death chamber). I mean the Aurors had the right to kill if they couldn't capture, so why don't kill if you capture (after a trial of course). Strange don't you think. And if it, the death chamber, has been used, I want to find out which people were thrown through the veil..

I voted for the Department of Mysteries. But I'd also want to know about Lily and James's life after (and during!) Hogwarts and what it is the Order is exactly doing (besides guarding the DoM, which is, of course, now pointless).

4) can Harry use what's behing the locked door in the DoMyst
5) the reason for Voldie giving Peter a silver hand...
6) is voldie really a snake animagus

Hrmm, I could probably go on for ages about the things that I want to know, but I'd prob say that the first three are the ones drivingme mostly insane!!!

Holly, could I just add my list to urs? :D
7. Mrs. Norris is an animagus (duh!) - but why?
8. Why doesn't Dumbledore ever let Snape teach Defence against the Dark Arts, not even in desperation? (Umbridge)
9. Why Dumbledore was happy that Voldie could touch Harry (if it makes Voldie killable, why is he hiding his smirk?)

I want to know about the Department of Mysteries. Dumbledore said that there was a hidden power inside of it, I want to know what that is.

oh I see...that doesn't necessarily mean she's an animagus though does it? she's just a mean cat... someone that would be handy to know where she's at.

you bring up a good point, though.... Mrs. Norris is obviously smarter than most cats, she seems to know more. is it possible that she's a kneazle, like Crookshanks?

It would seem very likely that she has some kneazle blood due to her distrust of suspiciuos characters and loyalty to Filch

A kneazle? I have heard of it before, but I have no idea what it is ! Could anyone tell me?!

If she is an animagus, you'd think she would be seen in her human form once in a while at school. Always being in your animal form seems boring, although it can be done of course; Wormtail was scabbers for so many years.

Go http://www.hp-lexicon.org/bestiary_h-m.html#Kneazle to see what a kneazle is.

Great, thanks. I had looked up Crookshank's entry, but I hadn't found that one.

Mrs. Norris has this description in the lexicon:
fur: dust-colored
eyes: lamp-like, yellow
build: skeletal
unique characteristics: can possibly see through invisibility cloaks

There's nothing mentioned about it having the physical characteristics of a kneazle though.

The lexicon tries to deal only in fact or as they state what's "canon". The assumption about Mrs Norris's identity is not fact and therefore not listed. A few assumptions also not listed:

Pettigrew has not been allocated a house although most assume he was Gryffindor.

James had never been confirmed Gryffindor (Gryffindor is listed as his house though).

These "gems" are all taken from the lexicon FAQ's page if you'd like to read further.
