Ronale7:

>>It's Dumbledore who says Voldemort is the last remaining descendant 
of Slytherin.<<

Ahh, but he doesn't say this. He says Voldemort is the last remaing 
*ancestor* of Slytherin, and despite the fact that this was changed 
to descendant for a few editions, JKR had it changed back.

I'm extremely puzzled by this, because it must be an Important Fact 
for her to request the change from descendant to ancestor.

Anyway...just trying to add another headache to the Gramps Voldemort 
topic.

Aldy (Aldrea):

>>*A cloud shifted. There were suddenly dim shadows on the ground. 
Their party was bathed in moonlight." <snip> Harry could see Lupin's 
silhouette. He had gone rigid. Then his limbs began to shake.* PoA,

Lupin is completely fine wandering around on the Hogwarts grounds, 
until the moon pops out.<<

For a moment the possibility occured to me that Remus changed in bits 
and pieces on the walk, but then I had to thoroughly beat myself up 
for thinking this. Being a Remus obsessee, I find the "bits and 
pieces" idea pretty absurd. He'd SAY something if this was true.

Anyway. I just swiveled around in my chair and thought of yet another 
theory.

Remus was shackled to Pettigrew who was shackled to Ron. Is it 
possible that the shackles were silver, or had a traces of silver? 
And if so, is it possible that the silver negated the effects of the 
moon for a short time? If it only works for a short time, and/or 
silver hurts werewolves somehow, he might not use it most of the time.
