Carolyn:
I can't make up my mind about this, what does anyone else think? The 
other things under timing controversies are really date-related, eg 
when were Bill & Charlie born.

This is timing in the sense of a sequence of events relating to a 
medical condition, but important to the plot development 
nevertheless. Its the stuff about whether werewolves transform at a 
certain time each month, whether or not the moon is behind a cloud or 
not, or whether Lupin is out in the grounds or in his 
office/Shrieking Shack.

Thoughts?
