As none of us are performing the play, MacBeth, I think we should be 
safe in typing the name, MacBeth. :) LOL.  I think the song (true, 
not in the book) was a nice touch and gave it a Roald Dahl-feel for 
me.  My favorite Weird Sisters'line (yes, the three witches in 
MacBeth were the original Weird Sisters) from MacBeth is in the 
beginning of the play when they say (I'm going from memory) "When 
will we three meet again? In thunder, lightening, or in rain?  When 
the hurly-burly's done. When the battle's lost... and won."

Considering the story line: the three remaining marauders meeting 
again, a thunderstorm occurs as the students arrive at Hogwarts, the 
end of the book being a battle both lost and won - I think the 
MacBeth quote fits quite well.
