Maybe you can get him involved by asking him the questions and having 
him translate and type them out for you. Just an idea. I am glad that 
you posted this time. Thanks for your input.

Exactly!! Your opinion is just as important as anyone else's in this 
group, though. Do not be worried about your English grammar. We all 
got into a long discussion about what spelling and grammar mistakes 
we hate to see. We were mostly picking on our fellow American & 
British speaking people, for whom English is supposed to be a first 
language. We have MUCH more tolerance and forgiveness and respect for 
those who strive to make English a secondary language. Post away... 
we will sort it out... or ask you about it.

This same question bothered me. My guess is that we will find the 
answer to it in the next book, "The Order of the Phoenix". My guess 
is that Dumbledore, James Potter, and some others all belonged to OOP 
and we will find out this answer and many more exciting facts about 
them. (I would tell you that this was a great question ... but I will 
let someone else do that... since it was my question too) :)))
