There clearly IS something that Dubmledore knows about HARRY that he has
nottold Harry yet; he says as much in denouement of SS/PS.


Crabb & Goyle's first names are divulged on the train in Book III i believe.


On James & Lily's final duel with V I have previously suggested that the
house was destroyed when James tried to slow V down by collapsing part
of it on him. 

It also occurs to me that JKR just made a mistake when she had James
emerge form wand before Lily and she too is frantically trying to come
up with an explanation. :-)


I also am intrigued by the analysis that the Weasley's had fewer kids
during the reign of Voldy,  or the suggestion they may have even lost
some in that period.  I had previously proposed a general wizard low
birth rate during The Bad Years, but didn't detail analyze the age/date clues.
