It's been eons since I read Moonheart, so I'm not clear with the
reference--is this the house, being the extension and ultimately
personification-in-large of its owner? I tend to blend my Charles deLint,
because he has his characters run about and meet each other in different
books. Anyway, you have a point. I think there's some sort of "bonding"
that's occurred between Dumbledore and Hogwarts. It's almost a big extension
of him. Either he draws on it, or it draws on him, or both. Thoughts?
