> Julie (naming some possible titles to see):

> Severus Snape, A History

Goddlefrood (not responding to all):

Please spare us from this one ;)

> Julie:

> Remus Lupin, the Missing Years

Goddlefrood:

The Wanderings of a Werewolf :-?, could be interesting, but I 
doubt it ;-)

> Julie:

> Dark Arts or No? How to Differentiate a Dark Spell  from One 
that Merely Appears Dark

Goddlefrood:

This one I'd like to see, there's not much to distinguish between
what is dark and what is light so far.

> Julie:

> An Atlas of the Wizarding World 

Goddlefrood:

I'd have to say no to this, as the wizarding world is the same 
as ours, therefore, any AA atlas would suffice ;)

> Julie:
 
> Great Family Trees of the Wizarding World, 1642-present

Goddlefrood:

Other than the tapestry, then? That was a single page and covered
many of the families in play, the purebloods anyway, what could
such a book add, one wonders?

> Julie:

> The Further Adventures of the Ford Anglia and Sirius's Motorbike 

Goddlefrood:

If it had the addition of "and their offspring", then I'd be 
intrigued indeed on this one.

It would, though, setting aside levity for a moment, be 
interesting to one day have some of Ms. Rowling's notes and
backstories published, and there may be some hope of that, I
seem to recall, although I'm not hunting for it just now, that
she has said this might happen in an interview.

I'd still say Hogwarts, a History would be of great interest to
many and there really isn't actually all that much history of the
school in the books so far. There may be a little more to come in
DH, but that would probably, at least IMO, not be much at all. If
it is there then it will pertain to the founders rather than any
other aspect, which there would be plenty of in a school of 1000 
or so years old.

As a further suggestion for another possible book, how about 
"Down and out with a rat" relative to Peter, he's a character 
that interests me strangely :-)
