I am very scared of this possibility. I am not all that fond of the 
real world (tm) so I am pleased that JKR changes it around, but I am 
very fond of Kemet, and fear that I will be extremely annoyed at JKR 
changing it.

Bill works for Gringotts in Egypt as a cursebreaker. I wonder what a 
cursebreaker DOES for a bank? I was thinking of something like 
removing curses from items that were being offered as collateral for 
loans, or that had been put on foreclosed houses by spiteful debtors, 
but in GoF Bill said something about the boss doesn't care how he 
dresses as long as he brings home plenty of treasure, and that gives 
me a terrible fear that he might be working as a grave robber. How 
dishonorable, and inconsiderate of the dead people.

So I used to think that, as Bill works for Gringotts in Egypt, there 
must be a branch there, but later I realized that he that if he WAS 
robbing graves or something, that would be work out in the field, far 
from any branch, so there wouldn't HAVE to be a branch in Egypt.
