I love this idea so much that I really don't want to make this post 
(so anyone who can show me to be wrong, please please go ahead!!)

It seems to me that this doesn't work, simply because we've already 
been told in PS / SS that DD is 'famous for his defeat of the dark 
wizard Grindelwald'. (pg.77 in my copy) Wouldn't this have used his 
one sting?
