In a striking and rather depressing example of my lack of a life, and
also because I'm stuck upstairs so I can listen for my 4-year-old being
sick again (sigh), I riffled through the archives for you guys.

Caveat: I don't really know how to make the message search do anything
sophisiticated. So I can't give you the seminal post for most of these.

Here's the message numbers for why we (I?) thought the cup portkey
worked at a touch: 5928, 2512, 2427.

Here's the message numbers where I am putting forward the same theory
Trina (?) or somebody just did, about why go through the whole Triwizard
Tourney hoo-ha to get Harry to Voldemort: 98892 (at the end) & 9254.

I *know* I remember reading (and writing) more about these two topics,
but as I said, I'm no pro with the search feature. But perhaps you will
find these interesting.
