Now that is something I had never thought of but it could be true.  It's so 
interesting to hear others perceive the characters!  Also makes one wonder if 
wizard hippies followed the Dead.  Maybe the Dead were actually wizards -

Who, upon reading so many introductory posts from new members today, realized 
that she just jumped right in and did not introduce herself when she joined a 
few weeks ago as an HP obsessed, middle school history teacher that just 
today finished her graduate degree!  I guess she was just having a senior 
moment since it's less than a month before she kisses those 20's goodbye.  As
