(#6) The Dursleys Strengthened Harry By Being Awful
Is Harry who he is because of the harsh treatment he received from the Dursleys?
Tumblr user Great Hero Battle Fight suggests the following theory:
Almost every single character trait exhibited by Harry can be linked back to his time at the Dursleys: He’s a good seeker because he was malnourished enough to be small and fast, and had gained excellent reflexes from constantly dodging their swings at him. He wants to protect and help others, because no-one helped him. He hates bullies, like Malfoy, because he was bullied. He doesn’t try at school, because he was never encouraged at home, and in fact, was probably punished if he did better than Dudley.
Even Harry’s lack of curiosity about his family, his past, leading to Hermione or Ron to explain everything is linked back to the number one rule at the Dursleys’, ‘Don’t ask questions.’

(#15) Is Mrs. Norris Filch’s Wife?
Tumblr user yoyospaghettiyo might be onto something. Filch is never without his cat, Mrs. Norris. What if she was human at some point and something happened - like perhaps she was an illegal animagus who went through a bad transformation one day?
What if she was Mrs. Filch?! And what if that is what makes Filch so cranky and twisted?

(#14) Hufflepuff Is The Stoner House Of Hogwarts
Tumblr user effyeahchampomix has the most delightful theory about Hufflepuff - they are totally high all the time. Here’s the reasoning: they don’t get too worked up about anything, their quarters are close to the kitchen, and their Head of House teaches herbology.
When Cedric Diggory had the idea to open the egg in the bath? That’s high sh*t right there. Plus, it’s called HufflePUFF.

(#11) Was Hagrid Incapable Of Fathering Children?
Hagrid is a hybrid, thanks to his half-giant/half-human blood. Most hybrids are sterile. Could this be why he is so attached to the animals, magical beasts, and the children of Hogwarts?
Is it because Hagrid longs to be a parent?

(#26) Harry Will Live Forever, Will Never See His Parents Again
Imgur user HPWombat posits why Harry Potter will forever be The Boy Who Lived. Good news, everybody! In defeating Voldemort, Harry becomes immortal.
Bad news, this defeat means he forfeits death and he’ll never be united with his parents and beloved friends, unless he jumps into Ron/George’s time machine.

(#25) Credence Barebone Is Voldemort’s Dad
This one doesn't hold up to much scrutiny, but theories about Ezra Miller’s character in Fantastic Beasts abound. Fans do know he’s the adopted son of magic-hating Mary Lou Barebone and that he’s manipulated by Auror Percival Graves. He's probably a wizard, too. Good luck with that one, Credence.
Barebone was born in 1905 and is listed as perishing in December 1926. Tom Riddle was born in December 1926. Rowling has said that Barebone will play an important role in the series. So could Credence be Tom's papa, complete with muggle-hating baggage and a first-hand field course in treachery from Graves?
