We used to be guessing if Dumbledore's brother, Aberforth, was the barman of the Hog's Head. We had ample evidence, but Book 6 seemed to have confirmed it.
Our old evidence were:
1) The barman was tall and thin
2) Hog's head had smelt of goats
I think I missed out something ;D
Our new evidence (Book 6, slight spoiler alert):
1) Dumbledore said to Tom Riddle that he was "friendly with local barmen".
2) Barman of Hog's Head had attended the funeral. (If you're asking "Who's funeral?", please read Book 6 and you'll know)
What do you think? :P
...I dunno...It could be anyone, tho...It doesn't sound lodgical tho...It could just be another "faceless" character...
um I didn't get any of that when I read number 6 but maybe I should read it more carefully because I was reading without really taking it in because I was reading so fast trying to beat my sister finishing it first.
Didn't Dumbledore say that Voldemort Killed his brother.....
No wait i found this on the net my mistake......
What do you guys think Aberforth (Albus Dumbledore's brother) has been up too as of late? We know that Aberfroth is actually the bartender of the Hog's Head, and J.K.R. makes several mentions of the "bartender" during HBP. One of them that stuck out as particularly important was where he was seen outside the Three Broomsticks with Mundungus Fletcher (HBP, Ch. 12)
