No, I love the "lighter" play too, and having thought about it a bit; having
a "Put-Outer" at this point in the story i.e. at the beginning and creating
the magical world scenario its just the right sort of name to give it.  Not
elegant, sure, but it always makes me smile and it's so very Dumbledore to
have one!
