Jen: I think there will always be clues. The site has to be user-
friendly for children to figure out or it would be very frustrating 
for them. Maybe JKR got her daughter's input on making up the 
clues?! Of course, many children are great at computers, but 
still....seems like they made the site for a wide range of ages and 
computer-skill levels.
