Just a little thought...
The number 3 is supposed to be magical. In Shakespeare's "Macbeth", 9
is a significant/magical/evil number because it is 3 times 3. Witches
believe in the power of 3 (If they do something bad to someone else,
they will get it back three times as bad). Perhaps 12, being 4 times
3, is JKR's version of this.
Just MHO :)

OH NO....ha ha ha.  My english teacher goes on and on and on about the 
signifigance of the number 3, and we are about to start Macbeth <vbg>  
Anyways, she looks as it is an evil thing, though she claims "anything 
signifigant comes in 3s or is a multiple of 3"  Anyways...i never noticed 
all of the 12s before, and I htinkit is funny, or maybe it is JKR's fav 
number.  Kind of like when you make a word search(for whatever reason) your 
fav letters, or rather more common letters, appear more than less common 
ones.  Just a thought...

who shudders at the mention of the infamous 3
