Hey folks,

 Help me out with something -- I know I need to read SS more closely (I
 will when I get around to it -- halfway through CoS for the second time,
 making my way through the series again), but aren't there two Patil
 twin sisters, Pavrati and .....? Are they both in Griffindor? Didn't
 Ron go to the ball with one, while Harry went with the other? Are
 they identical twins, and if so, why would the Sorting Hat put them
 in different houses (if it did)? Thought I remembered somewhere in
 GoF where there was a description of the sorting process, and someone
 said there was no guarantee that family, even identical twins, would
 be sorted into the same house. Is that a reference to the Patils?

Sorry for the slew of questions... I'm just now noticing how many details
I keep missing every time I read the books again.

Thanks,
Hot Gaz
