	Some editions say "curse" rather than "death" thus referring to 
the real Mad Eye Moody.
	
	I think I will christen these errors/inconsistencies Flints in 
honor of dumb ol' Marcus of Slytherin, who was (inadvertently) forced 
to repeat a year at Hogwarts. 
	Other notable Flints
		The Lily/James swap in GoF
		The ancestor/descendant swap in CoS
	Here's one I just noticed, comparing my newly purchased UK (but 
still with the same ol' wand order) GoF
	(UK)	P.613 'You'll forgive me, Dumbledore, but I've heard of a 
curse scar acting as an alarm bell before...'
vs.
	(USA)	p. 706 "You'll forgive me, Dumbledore, but I've never heard 
of a curse scar acting as an alarm bell before..."
