So where does that leave us with respect to those that we know of?

And this one is my question -- what are stag-like qualities anyway?  A 
stag evokes grandeur, bravery, strength.  I think there is more to be 
learned about James (and Harry) and that the stag connection hints at 
things we will learn about him as we learn more of who he was and what 
he was like.
