Okay, what is following is probably completely irrelevant. However 
I'd like to know whether it has been debated yet. Here it is.
I've been reading several messages from the thread concerning the 
source of Tom Riddle's diary. As I don't live in Great Britain, I 
don't know London, and I wanted to see where Vauxhall was, I wanted 
to get some information concerning that area. My Copernic searching 
engine provided me with 68 results, most of them dealing with 
Vauxhall Motors. I visited the official website of the firm (though 
I don't have a particular interest in cars), and I discovered that 
the emblem of Vauxhall is a griffin. If I remember well, the firm is 
also called "the griffin house".
So that's my question; forgive me if it is off-topic, or if there's 
yet an answer in the archives: that "Vauxhall road" on the back of 
the diary, is it only a reference to a location? Could it be also an 
allusion to that griffin emblem, a kind of a joke based on the 
association of a name and a symbol? Tom Riddle, heir to Slytherin, 
consigned his sixteen years- old self memory in a small book that 
holds the same name as "the griffin house"
 I don't know what to 
think of it, and I'd be glad to read your opinions.

Two Knuts,

Amicalement,
