Nice post.. I like ur doubts..😃
My doubts😆
Horcrux wasn't supposed to be discussed with evryone..till the end .. Right?
Trio didn't evn tell abt horcrux to Lupin
And wen they get back to Hogwarts in d end..they didn't tell anyone y dey r finding diadem..
Or y killing snake was important...
But suddenly while confronting voldy Harry says "there are no horcruxes left..just you and me"
WHY why why...
Why mention it in front of god knows how many ppl..
Why took so much trouble hiding abt it..their secret mission etc..
Dumbly didn't tell abt horcrux to anyone but Harry..and evn askd to keep it secret ..
Then wat was the need to mention it..
Didn't it meant that everything they did secretly was actu not needed.. I mean obviously LUpin..or the Wesleys wud hv bn as trustworthy as Ron hermoine.. They cud hv helped find horcrux ..
They cud hv mde things easy.. But it was secret mission assigned to trio
There r few more..I ll cm up wid tht later😳
First of all, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for bringing this up..if i could 'like' ur post a hundred times, i would, but unfortunately i cant even "like" it once owing to my dumb slow network ..i cant believe i missed this in the topic post, but then again this was the whole point of this thread, i was hoping that you all will add ur doubts & we can participate in this discussion trying clear or contradict each other's doubts.. tell you what, as & when new doubts pop in, i ll edit the topic post to add the new ones, so far i have to add ur's & Vibha's in the topic post..will do it later.. anyways, the following is my take on this doubt :
Yes, i too have wondered the same while reading the last book.. why , all this unnecessary "secrecy" ?.. "Lies & Secrets"- thats Dumbledore- "the mystery man"& he made sure to pass on this habit to his loyal student/follower.. I have been able to justify this secrecy pertaining to horcruxes but only to certain extent.. the way i see it, this secrecy was indeed important at least during the beginning of the horcrux mission, the reason being simply that, the more people know about it, the more chances there are of this crucial information reaching Voldermort & it was VERY IMPORTANT that Voldy be kept in the dark regarding this mission for as long as possible..STEALTH was crucial in this task, otherwise Voldy could have moved Horcruxes or tightened its security to the point that destroying them could have become an impossible task..its some what similar to "The Fedilus Charm" , the more "secret-keepers", the more diluted is the protection provided by the charm..So I believe Dumbly owing to his secretive nature & a little bit of logic made Harry promise that he wouldnt tell anyone except Ron & Hermoine since according to Dumbly, Ron & Hermy had proved their loyalty enough to be trusted with this secret , which indirectly proves that Dumbly never trusted anyone completely ( a trait similar to that of Voldy , in fact Dumbly was very similar to Voldy in some ways but that can be saved for another discussion ).. Dumbly knew that only Harry could complete this mission , the prophecy being one among many other reasons for this belief..
Ok, now so far so good..but i havnt been able to find a proper excuse or justification for this "secrecy" once Voldy came to know about the horcrux mission after the Gringotts fiasco..the ONE person from whom the secret was to be protected knew about it , so what was the point in continuing with this useless, unnecessary "secret"?!.. honestly, it really got on my nerves when the trio returned to Hogwarts to search for the Diadem but were still holding on to this "all so important secret" !.🤢.didnt they know that the "secret's" validity was over once Voldy came to know about it ?.. the only excuse i have been able to form here is, they were just three 17 year olds afterall , so may be such things didnt cross their minds ( not even Hermoine's 😕 ) when they were so much preoccupied with the mission ?.. or may be it was the matter of remaining loyal to Dumbledore & standing by the promise they made?.. may be it would have been clearer for the trio if Dumbly had given clear instructions- " Look here now, you are to keep this mission a secret as long as The Dark Lord doesnt suspect it , but if he comes to know about it, then there is no point in continuing with the secret,should that be the case, you are to immediately reveal the mission to the Order & get help every which way you can, & if you still continue with the "secret"- You are just being STUPID !, UNDERSTAND?!" ..
