Carol:
I don't think the rings and circles left by the teacups are
significant (they look just like mine from drinking coffee), but the
green tea residue in the cup on her desk (the portkey to Extra Stuff)
might be a clue. After all, it's the residue that a Seer reads (after
it's been properly drained and swirled). It looks like a crescent
moon, IIRC, but I don't want to leave the page with the open door and
go back to the main page to check it or I'll have to wait for Peeves
and catch all those keys again! The tea-leaf moon could be a hint that
Lupin is going to die (remember, he didn't want Trelawney to check his
fortune in the crystal ball in PoA?), but since he's associated with a
full rather than a crescent moon, I think the tea leaves are, well,
just tea leaves!
