WOW--what a relief!  I can stop banging my head against that one now.

Interesting change:  JKR didn't preserve the line "she [now, would be "he"] 
wants to see you" . . . do dads not have that same tenderness that would 
make a man who died in his son's infancy simply long to see his son grown 
up?  JKR has disappointingly conventional gender expectations at times . . . 
whoa, I did NOT say that, don't want to be held responsible for starting 
that argument!  ;-)

Thanks, Carole--
