order of the phoenix questions?

Question

Remember when Harry asked Nearly Headless Nick about whether Sirius could come back as a ghost even if he's dead? Well, how come Harry didn't seem unaware in the first place that some people whom died could come back and some can't? What about Cedric Diggory? He died and he didn't come back as a ghost, and neither did Harry's parents when they died? Did Nearly Headless Nick die in Hogwarts and is only seen in Hogwarts and no place else? Also, remember those voices that only Luna and Harry could hear? What about Neville? I thought he witnessed someone die in his family? And what exactly are those voices from the veil? Are they souls of dead people and only people whom have seen death can hear them?

no...I read somewhere that it wasn't neville's parents that died, it was someone else whom Neville was related to. Maybe his grandfather or something

Answer 1

see, none of us really kno all the answers to these questions, thats why shes answering them in the 7th book. it will be explained why some people come back as ghosts and some dont, and the voices will be explained too.

its only certian people who can hear the voices, because only harry and luna could hear them, luna wasnt under a spell, the fact that harry is a parselmouth doent matter here, the spell thingy (that i cant remember how to spell) doesnt show who the wand last killed-it shows the last spells the wand performed(in voldemorts case, it included avada kadavera), we dont know if sirius chose to move on or not, and that will be explianed also, because she said in an interview after the 5th book that sirius would come back but she didnt know in what form, so it didnt happen in the 6th book, so itll happen in the7th one.

and nevilles parents were tortuered into insanity by belitrix and they now reside in st. mangos "mental" ward.

Answer 2

Luna could hear the voices because she was under the spell of the book and Harry was a Parselmouth. Sirius couldnt' come back because he'd chosen to move on, but Cedric and Harry's parents were simply reawaken by the spell, it was a poweful spell that lets you see who the wand last killed. That's why Dumbledore said "you know no spell can reawaken the dead" it was simply their spirits, not them. And for Neville, his parents never died. They went insane and are in an institution.

Answer 3

OK Number one Neville's parents aren't dead. They were tortured to insanity. They now reside in st. Mungo's. Number two. Harry didn't know his parents or Cedric all that well. When Sirius died he was in shock and was not thinking clearly.The voices are probably the other people that fell into the hole thing.

Answer 5

1) Ghosts can be seen anywhere, no matter where they died
2)Neville didn't witness his parents dying so he couldn't see the thestrals.
3)The voices from the veil are the voices of the dead and ,most likely, eveyone can hear them.
