The Bones ~! (another theory!)

The bones family : I cannot think of a family that has been more brutally targeted over the years by Voldemort & Co. Edgar Bones:He was an original Order member;"a great wizard"--according to Moody ;he and his family among "the greatest wizards of the age"--according to Hagrid;One of Amelia's Brother and Susans Uncle;was killed with his wife and children(more than one probably).

Amelia Bones: Head of Department of Magical Law Enforcement,presided over Wizengamot, she is Susan's aunt,Is known to be a very powerful witch,fair and honest.Interestingly,we do not hear of Amelia being a part of the Order, either in the first war or the current one.

Is this significant?

I havent seen ne evidence in the books for Susans Grandparents(amelias parents!) ..but i feel they mite have died during hte First war!

So its no less than atleast 5 members of the Bones family killed by Voldemort and/or his followers.It seems that the third sibling,presumably Susan's father,has thus far been spared.Will he or his family be next to go?

Susan is a Hufflepuff,and Amelia is described by Tonks as having the very Hufflepuff quality of fairness.It is reasonable for us to assume that the Bones family is as traditionally Hufflepuff as the Blacks and Malfoys were Slytherin.

Could this probably have nething to do with Hufflepuff's Cup.But what if Amelia's murder was used to create a new Horcrux?

I believe that the Bones family is in the books for a specific purpose that we have yet to find out in the next book!

Could the Cup of hufflepuff be with the Bones family?
