It's a very interesting point, but how widespread is the knowledge 
about her being buried at King's Cross Station?  I've heard of 
Boadicea, but I'd never heard of this detail about her last resting 
place.  Is this commonly known in Britain?  It could just be a 
coincidence - I honestly can't see how she could figure into the HP 
stories.
