Sche says:
the cannon does support this:  Sirius, Hagrid, and Dumbledore all know where 
to find baby Harry after his parents are killed.  (ok, technically, hagrid 
only knows because DD told him, but, the Fedelius should prevent against 
that)

So i'd say that the charm is broken, and they are now able to find the 
potter's house

Me now:
This is something i've always wondered.  I suppose that they retain the info, 
otherwise, James and Lily would also forget where they lived as well!

Catlady on the twins and the Goblet of fire:

Me:  This is why i don't think either would have been  chosen as champion.  
Neither would be able to function as well without the other, so they'd be bad 
candidates for the championship.

Remember: the only reason there were two hogwarts champions was because the 
goblet was tricked.  I don't think it would have spit out two names for any 
other reason.

Catlady gives some reccomended reading:
>Jana George_Weasleys_Girlfriend (she hasn't been around much this 
>year) long ago proved that George is the much kinder and more 
>considerate twin. I can't remember where her essay was posted 
>(sugarquill??).

Me:
I'll have to go look for this! thanks.  Yes, George *is* the more considerate 
one, He's there to hold fred back.  Fred's a madman!

Chris fanfictionmaniac asked:

<< What do you think of the Harry/Ron Ship? What would Hermione 
think? >>

Me:
Actually, i don't think that would work in any case. Ron's jealousy towards 
Harry needs to resolve itself, and in a big way, before i could even think of 
them together romantically.  If they were thrown together as is, i could only 
see it as a very rocky relationship.  Because the only thing worse than being 
jealous of your best friend is being jealous of your lover.
