<< arguably the three adults closest to Harry at this point.

  There are three "stages" in the alchemical process (and we =know=
  JKR has researched alchemy to a degree -- Nicolas Flamel was a
  real person, and of course the Philosopher's Stone is the stated
  goal of alchemy) called the albedo (white), rubedo (red) and
  nigredo (black).

  =Can= this be coincidental?  Somehow I doubt it.

And then there's my therory....you all read *way* too much into half of this 
stuff. It's rather like the notion (that some people swear by) that 
"Hermione" has something to do with "Hermy" from Rudolph the Red Nosed 
Reindeer...because he wanted to be a dentist, and Hermione's parents are. 
Can we say "out on a limb"? I think we can!

*slinks away*
