While sometimes we seem to misinterpret JKR's intentions about
certain passages or phrases, I can't imagine that she would name a
place Godric's Hollow (after Godrick Griffyndor, I presume?), make it
the place where Voldemort kills Harry's parent die and is "defeated"
by Harry (if only temporarily), imply that Harry is the heir of
Griffyndor (or is that canon and I have forgotten?), and then NOT
make Godric's Hollow a significant site in a future book. Maybe not
the final battle, but something pretty important along the way.
In the U.S., a geographic "hollow" (or "holler" in Applaachia) is a
valley or low-lying area. Does it mean the same in Britain?
