Having contributed to the coffers of various english-printing publishing 
houses, not to mention a number of non-english houses, I have several 
questions:

Aside from the dumbing down of PS to SS because us Americans wouldn't be able 
to comprehend the concept of a philospher's stone - let us add classic 
education, then - and the need to make specific editorial corrections to 
typos, illogic and mistakes, what explanation is offered to explain (as in 
GoF) murder vs curse vs obstacle, etc.  (and that is a long sentence)

I know there is a site that collects anomalies in the text, but has anyone 
taken a stab at explicating them.  If not, perhaps the questions might be put 
to JKR.

There are many beloved stories that are slowly modified in text as new 
printings or editions come out.  Usually this might happen over 50 or 100 
years, not a decade.

I thought I was up on things by having one set of HP from each of the major 
English-speaking nations (US, Uk, AU, Canada), but I may draw the line at 
dealing with acquisition of minor textual variations.- I already do that in 
another aspect of my gentle madness.

Is there perhaps a need for an author's guide to HP to chronicle and explain 
these changes.  By the time #7 has run its course, there certainly should be 
more than enough discrepancies to report.
