I have to say I am happy with the rewrite (sorry everyone!). When I
was reading the origional edition, I noticed another "flint" as I saw
it... "...how the shadow of Harry's father had told him what to do."
(GF p606 UK first edition) This does not fit in with the previous
incorrect wand order, in that version of events it is Harry's
*mother* who "tells him what to do" ie. take the portkey back to
Hogwarts. However, the rewrite of the wand order fits in perfectly
with this as it *is* his father that tells him. Maybe I am mistaken
( I often am) but this is how I interpeted it.
