"...my observation that the name of HoGwaRtS contains the initials of the 4
canonical Founders, but also an extraneous 't' which leads me to believe
(did I mention that it is after midnight and there hasn't been a night this
week that I got more than 6 hours sleep?) that there was a 5th Founder whose
names began with T."

I do remember you mentioning this before and I'm not sure if I asked at the
time why you picked out the letter 't' as being extraneous and not the  'o',
'w' and 'a'?  If you're ignoring the vowels, there's still the 'w' to
contend with (I know, I know - preposition at end of sentence etc etc).

Are there six or even eight founders?

If there was a fifth founder, with initials 'TT' as you suggest could it
have been Tania Tucker?

I guess not.
