Hello,

I know this is rather an old posting, but I wanted to add my two
cents.

My UK paperback edition says "descendant", and so does the UK audio
version narrated by Stephen Fry. "Ancestor" doesn't make sense at all
to me.

I also wonder why they left out the number of Sirius' Gringott's vault
in the US edition. It's in the UK paperback, and it's also in the
German translation (I suppose it is based on the UK edition). BTW, has
anyone noticed that this vault must be located in Gringott's high
security area, because it is near vault Nr. 713 where the
Philosopher's stone was kept? Why did Sirius need a high security
vault, what's in there other than his gold?

greetings,
Monika
