Now Sue:
Or it could refer to a character whose plotline was
removed from CoS for a variety of reasons - space,
continuity, lack of resolution (too many loose
narrative threads), or because it gave away too much
too early in the series... That would fit if the
hypothesis of the title refering to a previously
unknown entity holds up.
On a related note, I was just listening to Jim Dale
read GoF yeaterday and was _strongly_ struck by
Voldemort's comments about Dumbledore in the graveyard
scene. I can't locate my copy of the book at the
moment to check the wording, but he says something to
the effect that Dumbledore is the champion of the
half-bloods. Red herring or clue???
