Dòng 47:
"Xenophilius" is accurately named, as it translates to "love of the strange" or "love of strange things."
The seventh book requires that Harry be taught the nature of the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Deathly Hallows|Deathly Hallows]], and the plot line requires that it be fairly late in the story, so that he may understand their nature more gradually than [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Dumbledore]] did. Dumbledore knew that he was seen as being authoritative. While he knew that the Hallows existed, and where they were, he also knew that if he passed that information on to Harry, it would cause Harry to pursue them, rather than seeking and destroying [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Horcrux|Horcruxes]]. While Dumbledore did leave a few hints to the nature of the Hallows for Harry to find, there are many which he could not have planted or predicted; however, no matter where they came from, in the end the hints led Harry and Hermione to Xeno. Xeno's extreme eccentricity decreases the immediacy of the Hallows; his evident belief in Snorkacks and other impossible creatures makes his belief in the Hallows equally suspect. This suspicion is all that prevents Harry from abandoning the search for Horcruxes, in the hope that possession of the three Hallows will allow him to "conquer Death" and thus avoid being killed by Voldemort.
Given the requirement that the information about the Hallows be provided by a friendly but untrustworthy source, it is clear that the publisher of the Wizarding world's equivalent of ''The Weekly World News'' would be a leading candidate for that role. It is uncertain whether the author had this role in mind for Xeno when ''The Quibbler'' was introduced in book 5, but we can see that he fits the requirements perfectly.
