Bones Family

Bones Family


Susan Bones' grandparents are the ones killed by Riddle.1 She lost an uncle, aunt, and cousins to one of the ten death eaters freed during Order of the Phoenix.2 She is listed as being a halfblood, despite coming from a family with enough influence that her Aunt is head of the DMLE.3 How close is Susan's relationship with her Aunt? Is Amelia a traditionalist even if she also believes in justice?4 Or is Amelia fairly broad minded?5
