about the Mitfords.  Can you share more about what it is about Jessica 
Mitford that JKR so admires?  I've never investigated & now I'm 
curious.

I'm still on my library's the waiting list for the latest Mitford 
sisters biography _The Sisters: the saga of the Mitford family_ by 
Mary Lovell. However, I have my suspicions about what in Jessica 
Mitford Rowling admires so much: independent, free-thinking, etc. 
Other than that, I haven't found specifics other than J. Mitford being 
described as Rowling's "idol". A quickie web search about the 
Rowling-Mitford connection alludes to this in THIS group's FAQ (lol)
