<< And just on a side note, somewhere on your website i read the time theory, which was intriguing, but when Mrs. Weasley talks about being caught by the caretaker, i believe that she meant the man who preceeded Filch, not Hagrid. >>

I believe you're referring to Appolyon Pringle? In my research for "What's In a Name", I came across a biblical reference: Appolyon is a nickname for the Devil (Rev.9:11). And we thought Filch was bad! Can anyone help me out with a definition for Pringle? All I know right now is that Pringles are pretty tasty potato chips, but that doesn't seem to fit the mold. Ideas?
