It occurs to me that there might be a good reason why the "#711"
reference was removed: to avoid just this sort of speculation on our
part.
I'm imagining JK writing along, coming to Sirius' note and making up
a random number for his vault, not realizing it was so close to the
Stone vault referenced earlier. Maybe she just likes 7s; lots of
people do. When she eventually realized or had pointed out to her
how close the numbers were, it was removed rather than having another
number substituted, another number perhaps leading to speculation
along some other line.
Just IMHO, of course, but it does provide a possible reason for the
change when no other has been provided.
Ginny, whose name, by the way, IS from Virginia (oh, no, am I evil?!)
