She may have meant it. JK has used Holidays as significant days
throughout the books. Lots of things happen for her on Halloween, The
Potters' death, the death of Nearly Headless Nick, the "troll in the
dungeon", the attacking of the Fat Lady by Sirius Black...and there is
something else I think, I'm currently trying to fill in some more
thoughts on the "Lily/Runes" post/theory that I posted a week or so
ago, but am not ready to do so yet, I do think there is something more
to Halloween with that. But in "fact finding" have discovered too,
that Harry's (and thus JK's) birthday is around the start of the
Festival of Lughnasa, (Festival of the Harvest for the pagan god Lugh)
(I just did this play, Dancing at Lughnasa and can't believe I didn't
connect it then) The book I was looking at last night, had a different
name for the actual "holiday" day which was listed as July 31. (since
I wasn't expecting to post about it yet, I don't have the details with
me at the moment)... But it is quite interesting that "holidays" are
being chosen as significant days. Is there more to the specific ones
than we might think at first glance?
