[squeals!] Oh, I HOPE that the Hat gets more playtime.  Now I can't wait
for Book 5 even MORE.  You see, I have my own pet theory on the Hat.  The
Hat's song in GOF said the Founders "put some brain in me so I could
choose instead."  My own theory is that the Founders used their OWN
brains; that is, a preserved memory (like the diary) of each of the four
Founders still lives inside the Hat.  If anyone is still aware of this, it
would be Dumbledore (well, and past Headmasters, presumably), but it would
be a powerful secret weapon to be used in the new war.
