HumanTupperware here: (who only wrote her first post ever last week, and is 
now replying willy nilly here and on the main list....ooooh addictive)

So far I haven't heard a single theory on this mystery lion man that I agree 
with, except of course, the likelihood that it is the DADA teacher.....

I can't imagine any reason why luipin's dad would suddenly enter into the 
story.....and I'm sure that JK has sunk the Romulous theory in an interview....

Aberforth is the bartender at the Hog's Head and has innappropriate relations 
with goats......this new character sounds waaaaay to dignified to be him.....If 
Aberforth is going to be in the new book, I think he will be doing more vaguely 
innappropriate things......

Godric Griffindor is soooooo dead. There ain't no time travellin' that's gonna 
get that one back.......

as for the HBP......NONE of us have the faintest idea who the hell he is.......so 
worth the speculating, but I find that a bit of an unsatisfying conclusion.....I just 
don't think JK would give us a description of him.....especially considering that 
we are turning ourselves inside out trying to figure out who it is.....we've had 
practically every male character up as a potential so far.....

I have no idea who the lion man is, I'm just not convinced by any of the 
theories I've heard yet....
