"And anyway, life’s too short... look at Madam Bones, look at Emmeline Vance... it could be me next, couldn’t it?"
—Emmeline's death[src]

Emmeline Vance (d. Early July, 1996[2]) was a member of the first and second Order of the Phoenix. She most likely fought in several battles of both wars, and was also a member of the Advance Guard. Emmeline was murdered by Death Eaters in mid-1996. She was considered a talented witch and her loss was a heavy blow to the Order.

Biography

Ootp

The first Order of the Phoenix

Emmeline served as a member of the original Order of the Phoenix, an organisation constructed by Albus Dumbledore in order to oppose Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. She fought in the First Wizarding War and unlike many others ultimately survived, living well past Voldemort's first fall.

When Lord Voldemort returned to power in 1995, Vance became a member of the reconstituted Order of the Phoenix. One of Vance's more important duties was to serve as a member of the Advance Guard that acted as protectors of Harry Potter after they extracted him from number four, Privet Drive and took him to the safety of the Order's headquarters.

Emmeline's long distinguished service to the Order ended, however, when she was attacked and murdered by Death Eaters near the residence of the Muggle Prime Minister in the second week of July, 1996.[2] Her loss was considered a heavy blow for the Order and her murder was publicised in Muggle newspapers, most likely because of the place of her murder being so close to the Prime Minister. Severus Snape claimed to have given information to Voldemort that led to Vance's death, but considering he was a double agent, it is unknown whether this is true.

Physical Appearance

Emmeline was described as a stately-looking witch with an emerald green shawl.

Relationships

Order of the Phoenix

Emmeline had a good relationship with most members of the Order of the Phoenix. Many of the Order's members were saddened by her death. Harry Potter also mentioned her in a discussion with Dumbledore about life and death.

The Advance Guard in LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7

  • In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Emmeline Vance was portrayed by Brigitte Millar.
  • If it indeed true that Snape's information lead to her untimely demise, Dumbledore might have sacrificed her for the sake of solidifying Snape's credibility in the eyes of Dark Lord's, doing so with a heavy heart for the Greater Good of the resistance against Voldemort and his followers under the principles of "the end justifies the means".

Etymology

The name "Emmeline" comes from an Old French form of the Germanic name Amelina, originally a diminutive of Germanic names beginning with the element amal meaning "work". It was introduced to England by the Normans.

[...] “What a week, what a week . . .” “Had a bad one too, have you?” asked the Prime Minister stiffly, hoping to convey by this that he had quite enough on his plate already without any extra helpings from Fudge. “Yes, of course,” said Fudge, rubbing his eyes wearily and looking morosely at the Prime Minister. “I’ve been having the same week you have, Prime Minister. The Brockdale Bridge ... the Bones and Vance murders ... not to mention the ruckus in the West Country ...”
