This is the general story that 'predicted' by netcitzen, I have no idea where is the origin, as I saw it around in a few website. Of course is the story going to be like this we don't know, even perhaps Rowling, but at least, it does sound reasonable. As found it interesting, so I put it here. And I added the English names so for those of you used to read the English version, won't get as confuse as I do when looked at their 'Chinese' name)
首先,回溯到霍格華茲 Hogwarts 剛創建時,四位創始人(薩拉扎.史萊哲林Salazar
Slytherin、高錐客.葛來分多Godric Gryffindor、羅威娜.雷文克勞Rowena Ravenclaw、海加.赫夫帕夫Helga
Hufflepuff)達成一個協議,將由他們四人的後裔來照顧校園。他們也發現了長生不死的祕訣,但卻無法使用,因為這魔法的一部分是說它一次只能施加於一人的身上。兩個長生不死的人不能同時並存,否則他們可能互相殘殺而受到後人恥笑。
所以這個協議就是---如果他們的家族成員全都死去,因為再也沒有後裔,四大家族中的最後一個成員就可以得到永生的祕訣,如此一來他或她才能繼續管理學校。魔法的另一部分是,如果其中兩個家族存留的最後兩名後人相互鬥爭,則他們都無法殺死彼此。佛地魔Voldemort知道這古老魔法的第一部分,但卻不知第二部分。
我們知道,佛地魔Voldemort是史萊哲林Slytherin的最後一名傳人,而我猜想另外兩個家族已經沒有任何後裔。我亦猜想詹姆.波特James
Potter是高錐客.葛來分多Godric Gryffindor的最後一支血脈。哈利被德思禮Dursley家收養,是因為他沒有其他親戚。所以,佛地魔Voldemort想殺詹姆.波特James
Potter,是為了得到長生不死的祕訣,這是書中所記載的佛地魔一生最基本的野心。
詹姆James一定和佛地魔Voldemort直接戰鬥過,而且每次都存活了下來,所以當佛地魔Voldemort來到高錐客洞Godric時,他認為他一定能拖住佛地魔Voldemort,讓莉莉Lily有時間帶著哈利Harry逃走。我們知道莉莉Lily是來自一個麻瓜Muggle家庭,而波特Potter家則是一個古老的魔法家族,佛地魔Voldemort也說過他本可以不用殺莉莉Lily,所以葛來分多Gryffindor的傳人必定是詹姆James那一邊,而不是莉莉Lily。
然而,自從詹姆James有了兒子----另一名葛來分多Gryffindor的後裔----他不再受到那古老魔法的保護,很快就死在佛地魔Voldemort的”死亡詛咒”(Avada
Kedavra, the Unforgivable Curses)之下。
這使得哈利Harry成為葛來分多Gryffindor最後的傳人,而得到那古老魔法的保護。這層保護再加上他母親給予的愛的力量,使佛地魔Voldemort的”死亡詛咒”逆火反彈,擊中他自己。但由於那古老魔法,哈利也無法殺死史萊哲林Slytherin的傳人,所以佛地魔Voldemort依然活著。他能夠活著只是因為那魔法,而不是他在第四集中所說的,他在黑暗世界所學和作的事。
所以我想,在第五集和第六集中,我們將會知道雷文克勞Ravenclaw已沒有後裔,赫夫帕夫Hufflepuff也一樣,而波特Potter家是葛來分多Gryffindor家族的最後一支----那也是為什麼波特擁有如此豐厚財產的部分原因。而且在第二集中,當分類帽Sorting
Hat給了哈利Harry那把劍----它曾屬於高錐客.葛來分多Godric Gryffindor----時,鄧不利多Dumbledore曾說:[只有一名真正的葛來分多Gruffindor……](“only
a true Gryffindor....”)我們都以為他指的是學院,但他實際上指的是那個古老家族。
後來在第六集(或是第五集)時,佛地魔Voldemort再度捕獲了哈利Harry,拿走他的魔杖,並嘗試再殺死他,但發現他做不到----由於那古老魔法。最後一集時哈利Harry將再度深陷險境,這一次,佛地魔Voldemort叫彼得.佩迪魯Peter
Pettigrew/Wormtail代他殺死哈利Harry,但佩迪魯Pettigrew下不了手,因為哈利Harry曾經救過他一命。他的猶豫使得哈利有時間逃走,去找鄧不利多Dumbledore。最後是鄧不利多Dumbledore逮住了佛地魔Voldemort並取走他的魔杖。佛地魔Voldemort將會結束在催狂魔Dementor的手上----牠們的其中一個負責保護他,但最後卻違抗命令,並給了佛地魔Voldemort致命的一吻。
但在那最後的戰役中,佛地魔Voldemort造成鄧不利多Dumbledore致命性的傷害。哈利Harry----現在是四大家族的最後一名傳人,將會用他所得到的長生不死的力量,來換取鄧不利多Dumbledore復活,他們從此快樂的生活在一起。哈利Harry將會結婚(對象將是其他學校的學生,有可能是Gabrielle Delacour,Fleur的妹妹,但也可能是某個我們還不知道的人),他們將有許多小孩並建造一個新的葛來分多Gryffindor世家。

Pictures taken from the HP1 movie ... official set picture ... but no idea where is the origin, perhaps WB ... you know, everyone copied it and put in their own websites ... so end up every HP websites have one ... these are the two who don't appear that often.
If I am not mistaken, the guy who played Professor Flitwick (left), is the one who played 'Mini Me' in Austin Power 2. (oh, just checked, apparently I DID mistaken ... anyway, seems Mini-me is Griphook in the Wizard Bank, he definitely in the movie, anyway) Anyway, I put this photo for the purpose of ... you know when you keep scrolling down ...
I quite like this photo ... look at Hermonine ... almost going to punch Harry ... hahaha
This picture is from Vanity Fair Magazine, which I really like (I mean the photography and art design skill is great). This is the Gryffindor Quidditch team when Harry in his 1st year.
from left it is Alicia Spinnet,
Oliver wood, Katie Bell , Angelina Johnson, George Weasley, Harry Potter,
Fred Weasley
(the name in the books, of course
... hey do they sure it is not George is Fred and Fred is George?)
