Okay, this observation qualifies me as 150% obsessed, but I FINALLY 
got my Raincoast copies of QTA and FB, and Harry's signature is 
different than in the US edition!  On the US FB it is exactly the 
same as in the US GoF (which, for those who haven't seen it, has 
Harry's and Sirius's signatures on their letters).  I noticed because 
his "y" is very distinctive:  almost no loop, and the final upstroke 
goes sharply off to the right.  His sig on the Canadian edition, both 
on the outside and first page of the book, is loopier and rounder 
(and resembles the rest of his writing better, IMO, though people's 
signatures do vary quite a bit from their regular handwriting).  The 
rest of the graffiti is identical in the two versions, I think.

I wonder why there's a difference?
