t wouldn't have worked! The reason why the owls found who they were sent to, is because that person wanted to be found by said owls. Seirus wanted to talk to Harry, so Hedwig was the only owl who could find him; and, I imagine, Harry's friends, given that they're so close.

This also gives meaning for the beginning of the story; al those owls, that would seem to grow more and more in number, trying to get letters to harry, were there because Harry really, REALLY wanted to leave that house, even if he didn't know for sure where he was going.

The explanation for the books is 'magic'. A little theory makes it a little fun! Take my word as a grain of salt, or adopt it as your own. Either way, it's all good! Love the books, and the movies were great.

So when Harry was 10-11, he consciously wanted the owls to find him and give him a Hogwarts letter before he knew what Hogwarts was? I'm calling ********.

Not at all. He didn't know what Hogwarts was, randomanonperson, but he did know what he wanted; he wanted to be away from the Dursleys, mostly.
