I guess not...Apart from Mrs Norris, and Dumbledore's eyes ("light, bright 
and sparkling") has anyone spotted any other Austen moments in HP?  I do 
think Dumbledore's comment about never having enough socks because "people 
will insist on giving me books" could almost have come from one of Jane's 
letters!   Captain Wentworth for DADA teacher, anyone? ;)
