--------------------------------------

Except, what about that not so helpful clue about what was 
happening?  Harry asked Dobby if it had anything to do with 
Voldermort and Dobby said no.  At the end of the book Dobby said he 
gave him that clue because Voldermort had changed his name from Tom 
Riddle, so Dobby had to have known what was going to happen.

As for the ancestor/descendent controversy.  I am sure we will find 
out that Voldermort is using a time turner or other form of time 
travel.  I just think that JKR put those "mistakes" in on purpose.  
There isn't one little detail in any of the books that doesn't have a 
purpose.


In re-reading GoF, I noticed somthing that didn't stand out in 
previous readings.  Right after Harry was selected as the 4th champion
(p 272-273 US edition), "McGonagall got to her feet....to whisper 
something to Dumbledore. ...  Then Dumbledore got up, and nodded to 
McGonagall..."  What did she have to say and why did Dumbledore nod 
back?  It left me with the impression that they knew this was going 
to happen.  Did he know who put their names in the cup?  Is 
Dumbledore controling all these things that happen to Harry to 
prepare him for the "final battle"?
