Ah, yes, I remember that one. That was the one that eventually 
provoked one of my 4000 word long thesis style replies explaining in 
incredible detail why Voldemort was not stupid in the Graveyard. One 
of these days I'll learn to send a post which says something 
like 'He just isn't, ok?'

Luckily, the reply starts with 40... rather than 39..., so Cindy is 
not going to find out if it beats DISHWASHER as requiring the most 
keywords. (40044, to be exact).

 Voldemort, Harry, Malfoy, Pettigrew, AK, DE's, Duelling, Graveyard 
[which may not be a keyword yet]and Priori Incantantum come to mind, 
and probably more. Have we got one for Shield Spells yet?
