Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’ll be discussing how Vernon Dursley met Petunia Evans, and how the two of them eventually became Mr. and Mrs. Dursley—the widely disliked aunt and uncle of Harry Potter.

As revealed by the memories of a dying Severus Snape, there was once a time when Petunia Evans and her younger sister, Lily, were actually quite close. In fact, it would seem that as a young girl Petunia had wished to become a witch just like Lily, and even went so far as to write to Headmaster Dumbledore to see if he could make an exception and allow her to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry despite the fact that she displayed no magical abilities. Unfortunately, it would seem that Dumbledore’s refusal—although delivered kindly—ignited feelings of incredible resentment within Petunia, which is likely what spurned her on towards a life in which she hated magic to the point that she tried to pretend it didn’t exist. Petunia was also openly resentful of the fact that her parents seemed delighted by the fact that her sister was a witch, which ultimately led to Petunia feeling such incredible dislike towards her sister, her family, and her home in Cokeworth, that she up and left in search of a much more ordinary life.

It was around this time that Petunia met Vernon Dursley.

Shortly after entering the Great Hall, each and every new first year student is required to place the fabled Sorting Hat upon their head.

And the Hat, which has the unique and essential task of assigning new students to one of the four houses, will place this new student in to Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin.

For the most part, this process runs pretty smoothly, with students being sorted across the board.

But what if for some strange reason, things didn’t go quite as smoothly as they usually do? What if the Sorting process led to a completely disproportionate number of students in one house? Or better yet, what if one or more houses had no new students at all?

Today we’re tackling all of that (and more) as we dive (deeper) in to the Sorting Ceremony.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’ll be discussing the history of the infamous wizarding shop known as Borgin and Burkes.

Established in 1863 by two wizards—a Mr. Borgin, first name unknown, and a Mr. Caractacus Burke—Borgin and Burkes has always had a rather notorious reputation. The shop is located at 13B Knockturn Alley, a street said to be quite dangerous, which can be found just off of London’s main wizarding road of Diagon Alley. The dangers present along Knockturn Alley come from both the nefarious businesses that operate down the street, in addition to the questionable witches and wizards who frequent these establishments. In fact, the street has such a bad reputation that Molly Weasley forbade her children—specifically Fred and George—from venturing down the Alley at all.
