Ha!  Good one, Heidi.  Your reply made me wonder, is it stated that 
there are pictures from J & L's days at HW, or just from after?  All 
I can specifically remember is that some of the pictures are from 
their wedding.

To comment on "Wands and Animagi":  maybe it's just certain types of 
magic one can do without a wand...

And to comment on "James' father":  The ages make it possible for 
Vold to be James' father.  V's about thirty years older than J.  I 
thought of this in response to the info that TR, J, and Harry all 
have the jet-black hair.  Also, V could be Lily's 'real' father 
(going with my "Lily was left on her parents' doorstep just like 
Harry" theory).  Lots of people have said the V as J's father theory 
is too cliche, too "I am your father, Luke", but JKR's not beyond 
using a cliche or two.  I give equal weight to V NOT being J's father 
because it could be JKR intentionally misleading us.  She's going to 
zig when we thought she was gonna zag.

Okay, that's all for now...
