Does Voldemort have a Gringotts vault?

He must, he has to have loads of gold and jewels – where else would he keep his fortune? He has probably amassed quite a bit, but I wonder what else could be hiding in his vault… perhaps a horcrux! There are quite a few missing, and Gringotts is said to be the safest place besides Hogwarts. If anyone tries to break in, they get sucked into the vault and not found for approximately 10 years, eek!

Which horcrux would most likely be kept in a Gringotts vault? The tiara is at Hogwarts, Harry saw it, the ring and the diary have been destroyed, the snake is with the Dark Lord, if it is even a horcrux, the cup… is nowhere. Although I think someone has it, but it could be at the vault. Or the horcrux we don’t know about? This could be fun to speculate on…

Why did Lily Potter have a choice?

When Voldemort called on the Potter home to kill James and Harry, he did not come to kill Lily. Why? She was a mudblood, so it couldn’t have been out of respect for her family. She thrice defied him with James according to the prophecy, so it couldn’t have been because she would follow him then.

I hate to say it, but I think the Snape/Lily shippers may have been right. Lord Voldemort is very happy with Snape on the night he goes to kill the Potters. He has the prophecy and he thinks he will now dwarf any effort to ever die. There will be no one who is as powerful as he is and Snape helped. So when Snape asks the Dark Lord to spare Lily her life, he agrees.

It is the only plausible explanation… at this point.

Rowena Ravenclaw’s Horcrux Is a Tiara

Something belonged to Ravenclaw that was turned into a horcrux as the only known relic of Godric Gryffindor, besides the sorting hat, is the sword. Scouring the books looking for clues and listening to the audio books in the car I’ve paid close attention to when Harry or other characters are touching stuff that they are not paying attention to. This is a very dangerous practice in the wizarding world too. I’m surprised that Harry isn’t more careful after what he found at Sirius’. Anyway, I digress.

In the Room of Requirement is the Half Blood Prince’s book hidden in a cabinet. On said cabinet Harry puts a bust(can’t these talk like photos?) and puts a silver tiara on top of it. Why is there something of this value laying there amongst the other broken and junkie objects?

Tom Riddle(aka Voldemort) killed three people the night he killed his father. He could have made more than one horcrux at the time. Then hiding it where everyone else hides their stuff, in the room of requirement. Remember too that he wanted a teaching post. Dumbledore assumed it was to find more relics, but what if it was to get one of his horcruxes back?

Harry Potter 7 - SPT and the Prophecy

Five things we know about the prophecy:
1.) Dumbledore heard it, therefore was able to repeat it.
2.) Harry knows it.
3.) Prof. Sibyll Trelawney said it and it is thought she could retrieve it since she did give the prophecy.
4.) Snape knows that Trelawney gave it to Dumbledore and he is on his way to Voldemort.
5.) Voldemort wants it.

That last bit really sums it up, doesn’t it? Voldemort wants the prophecy and he if ever finds out that Trelawney is the one who gave it and he could get access to her, well, she’d be dead, wouldn’t she? Here is a big test for Snape, is he good or bad? Will he tell the Dark Lord... or not?
