Following the Mrs. Figg conversation, I picked up SS and started
reading, and of course, find myself now in the middle of CH. 10 of
PoA... As I read this time I find myself noticing connections in the
naming of people I've never noticed before, always on the lookout for
another Mrs. Figg I guess. Two things I noticed:
1)I just relized that Godric's Hollow is probably named for Godric
Gryffindor. Could Godric's Hollow not be a town, like Hogsmede, but
a place where Gryffindor's go for protection?
2)I SS, when Hagrid first arrives on the island and tells Harry the
brief version of Harry's Bio; Hagrid mentions several other families
who were murdered by Vold./DEs. One such family is the Bones'(p. 56,
Amer. pbk), later we see a Susan Bones (p. 119) sorted into
Hufflepuff (in Harry's year). If she's from the same family, that
means there are others, like Harry and Neville, at Hogwarts who come
from families destroyed by The Dark Lord. Do we ever see this girl
again? (I didn't catch her in CoS or PoA so far.) Has anybody
noticed any other kids who might be in a similar situation to Harry
and Neville?
If you've already talked about this stuff, just point me to the
