    Oh boy, where to begin? There’s a bunch that range from implausible, to unsettling, to simply absurd:

    • Crookshanks used to live with the Potters
    • Hagrid is a Death Eater
    • Voldemort’s rudimentary body was Bertha Jorkins’ unborn child
    • Draco actually loved Hermione
    • McGonagall had an affair with Crookshanks
    • Harry hallucinated the events of all seven books
    • Wizards used to sh*t on the floor and vanish the evidence
    • Snape was Harry’s real father the whole time
    • Mrs Norris is a maledictus and Filch’s wife
    • Voldemort secretly had a daughter

      I’m pretty sure the shitting on the floor theory is actually a quote from the fourth book, also they don’t wear underwear when wearing tunics and robes

        It is not from a book, but I think Rowling made the statement herself on pottermore or its Twitter account. In my opinion it doesn’t make any sense though as firstly the vanishing spell is too complex for pupils under grade ~4 and secondly why would there be all the pipes in Hogwarts then? Did Salazar Slytherin secretly plumb through the whole castle for his little snakey to murder sneakily and nobody noticed?

          Yeah, it didn’t make a lot of sense. The no underwear thing comes from a quote from the fourth book of an old wizard “liking a healthy breeze round his privates” when offered a pair of pants. I guess it’s up to interpretation how much breeze he considers healthy
