Ginger replies:
Hmm, the Rat himself!  Kneasy also mentioned that Prof. Sinistra 
might be.  I was trying to remember, when writing my original post, 
the Latin connection between "left-handed" and "sinister", but I 
never got as far as thinking of Prof. Sinistra!

Kneasy, can you help with the details on this?  

Maybe we should be watching for left-handed characters if they are 
going to be bad guys!

Talk about negative stereotyping! :)

You had also mentioned Neville as a possibility.  Maybe that's how LV 
will meet his fall.  Ambidexterious Neville will have two wands, and 
will keep LV busy so Harry can blast him into smithereens!  

Ginger, who feels *so* much better being connected with a traitorous 
rat. <----sarcasm
