Over the the next week, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]] remains angry over [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] using the Prince's notes. She suggests that the "Prince" may be female, based on the book's handwriting, but Harry retorts, "How many girls have been Princes?" [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]] is also angered, because even though Harry has offered to share, Ron is unable to read the tiny handwriting and has to rely on textbook formulas. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Horace Slughorn|Professor Slughorn]], of course, believes Harry is among the best [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Potions|Potions]] students he has ever taught.
 
Harry arrives at [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore's]] office for his first lesson, althoughafter hedodging hada totipsy dodge[[Muggles' aGuide tipsyto Harry Potter/Characters/Sibyll Trelawney|Professor Trelawney]] in the hallway. Dumbledore explains that they will try to determine [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]]'s intentions, based on Dumbledore's previous investigation. Dumbledore has shared all he knows with Harry; now they are embarking on guesswork and supposition. Dumbledore produces a vial containing memories from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bob Ogden|Bob Ogden]], who worked in Magical Law Enforcement. Dumbledore pours the contents into his [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Pensieve|Pensieve]], and he and Harry enter.
 
Bob Ogden arrives near [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Little Hangleton|Little Hangleton]] village and turns down a path. ApproachingAs he approaches a ramshackle cottage, a young wizard with several missing teeth and small, dark eyes staring in opposite directions appears and challenges Ogden, speaking in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Parseltongue|Parseltongue]]. The wizard jinxes Ogden before he can state his business. An older wizard appears and addresses the younger one as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Morfin Gaunt|Morfin]]. He identifies himself as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Marvolo Gaunt|Mr. Gaunt]], and says Ogden should have announced himself. Ogden replies that a message was sent by owl post; Gaunt responds that he does not read letters. When Ogden says he is there about Morfin, Gaunt invites him in. Inside, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Merope Gaunt|Merope]], GuantGaunt's teen-aged daughter, is in the kitchen. She has a plain, heavy face, and, like Morfin, her eyes stare in opposite directions.
 
Ogden says Morfin jinxed a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Muggle|Muggle]], causingwhereupon Merope to dropdrops a pot. She fumbles a spell to pick it up and slams the pot into the wall. Ogden repairs it for her. Gaunt taunts Merope, causing her to blush fiercely. Ogden says Morfin has broken Wizarding law, and produces a summons. Gaunt demands to know if Ogden realizes just who he is talking to and shows him a ring he says bears the Peverell coat of arms. He also shows Ogden Merope's locket, claiming it is Salazar Slytherin's, and they are his descendentsdescendants. Ogden retorts that their heritage has no bearing on Morfin having Jinxed a Muggle. Ogden reads the summons, breaking off when horses are heard approaching outside. In Parseltongue, Morfin says it is the Muggle that Merope fancies and the one he Jinxed. Gaunt demands to know if Merope is chasing a Muggle. When she does not answer, he attacks her; Ogden defends her and is attacked in turn by Morfin. Ogden escapes, crashing into the two riders on horseback as he runs for the road;. Harry and Dumbledore exit the memory.
 
Dumbledore says Ogden quickly returned with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Ministry of Magic|Ministry]] reinforcements, but Morfin and Gaunt fought them; Morfin was sentenced to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Azkaban|Azkaban]] for three years while Marvolo Gaunt received six months. Harry instantly recognizes the name: heMarvolo was [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]]'s grandfather. Dumbledore says that Merope was to be Voldemort's mother, and his father was the elegant Muggle on horseback that Morfin attacked. Harry wonders how the handsome [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Tom Riddle Sr.|Tom Riddle]] could possibly have married the unattractive Merope; Dumbledore says she likely used a love potion. The two ran away together, causing a scandal; Marvolo never forgave her and died shortly after his release from Azkaban.
 
A few months later, Riddle returned to his manor house alone, saying he had been hoodwinked. Dumbledore suggests that either Merope believed bearing Tom's child would bind him to her and stopped using the love potion or else she lost her ability to perform magic. Harry recalls that Voldemort was raised in an orphanage and correctly surmises that Merope died soon after giving birth.

== Analysis ==
 
If another student was using the Prince's textbook, Hermione, who is a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Prefects|Prefect]], would likely have confiscated the book and reported them. However, she says nothing about Harry, and instead voices her disapproval directly to him, although she knows it will have little effect. This is a typical behaviorialbehavioral pattern for Hermione, and only once has she reported Harry for something. In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban/Chapter 11|''Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'']], she informed [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Minerva McGonagall|Professor McGonagall]] that had Harry received thea [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Brooms|Firebolt broom]] from an annonymousanonymous donor (who she suspected could be [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sirius Black|Sirius Black]], then believed to be trying to murder Harry). Although Hermione was motivated by genuine concern over Harry's safety rather than preventing him engaging in mischief, her actions resulted in a severe backlash and months of estrangement from Harry and Ron, causing Hermione much anguish. Although Hermione staunchly believes in obeying school rules, she fears Harry and Ron's retaliation even more, causing her to overlook their frequent, although minor, misconduct. However, even though Hermione remains disapproving of Harry for using the Half-Blood Prince's notes, and resents Harry outperforming her in Potions class, she says nothing and actually becomes quite curious about the Prince's identity. This has also subtly changed the Trio's relationship. Ron and Harry have usually sought out Hermione for help or information, although they occasionally had to suffer her disapproval for their academic laziness. Now Harry has another means to find the information he needs, at least regarding Potions.
 
Dumbledore's private lessons are not what Harry expected. Rather than learning new magic, he is to view Voldemort's past through other people's memories. Exactly how this can aid Harry is still unknown, but learning more about his enemy may help defeat him. Studying the Gaunts has provided clues about Voldemort's own personality. Although they had sunk to a low social status and lived in poverty after previous generations squandered the family fortune, the Gaunts still considered themselvsthemselves superior based soleysolely on their bloodline's todescent from Salazar Slytherin, and therefore expected preferential treatment. This is similar to Voldemort's own attitude. The Gaunts apparently felt little need to educate or cultivate themselves, although the sad, pathetic (and phsicallyphysically unattractive) Merope secretly yearned for a better life, despite her severely limited prospects. When she fell in love with the Muggle, Tom Riddle, she used a love potion (or similar enchantment) to entrap him and escape her abusive family and abysmal life. Unfortunately, as soon as the potion wore off, Riddle abandoned the pregnant Merope, who, deeply despondent and either unable or unwilling to use magic to care for herself, died soon after giving birth, leaving her son, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Tom Jr.Marvolo Riddle|Tom Marvolo Riddle]] (Voldemort), to be raised in an orphanage. While Harry, and readers, may see Merope as a sympathetic character, it should be remembered that she used duplicity to trap Tom Riddle, Sr., who otherwise would never have had any interest in her. It is unknown why Merope discontinued using the love potion on him, although perhaps it becomes less effective over time, or she may have hoped that Riddle would come to love her on his own, although that clearly was never the case. Although Riddle had every right to leave the bogus relationship, his abandoning an innocent child is inexcusable, if he knew of it; Merope may never have told him that she was pregnant.
