No: HPFGUIDX 87733 I am positive that Dudley's friend Piers is a parallel to James' friend Peter. This is because Piers looks like a rat and Piers is French for Peter. However, I'm wondering if any other of Dudley's friends would correspond to Black and Lupin. What about James? Is Dudley like James? What do we know about Gordon, Malcolm, and Dennis? Karen
