  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.

  AH HA!  I *knew* there was something to Dumbledore's and Hagrid's names, I 
  just couldn't put my finger on it!  Thanks for the infor!

  Cheers,

  These replies are just mind boggling, to say the least. I really feel sorry for all of the people who have read HP and upon closing the books, are left only to their own thoughts and interpretations.
