Harry Potter Theory

Voldemort deliberately created SIX Horcruxes in his pursuit of immortality. But there was a seventh. One he never intended to make, and that portion of his soul lived inside of Harry.

So my question is: How did the wizard who pushed the limits of SOUL magic more than anyone NOT realize that a piece of it was living inside his greatest enemy?

Let’s dive into it.

Dumbledore was arguably the most powerful wizard of his generation. Actually, scratch that, I don’t think it’s even arguable.

He famously defeated Gellert Grindelwald, his list of magical accomplishments is completely unparalleled, and perhaps most significant of all: he was the only wizard Lord Voldemort ever truly feared. But somehow, throughout BOTH Wizarding Wars, Voldemort's followers were seemingly free to terrorize the wizarding world. They’d murder, torture and kidnap with what seemed like FREE REIGN.

So here’s my question: Why didn't Dumbledore just get rid of them?

Twelve years. That's how long Sirius Black spent in Azkaban for crimes he never committed.

And all that time, Dumbledore, one of the wisest wizards in history, believed he was guilty.

But what’s strange about all of this is that Dumbledore knew Sirius personally. He also knew just how close he was with the Potters.

So my question is: how did the same wizard who saw through Voldemort's greatest deceptions get tricked by…A rat.
