That's what happens when your ideas are so good and you explain 
them so well that no one has anything to add except the forbidden 
"I agree" post.

I believe you have brought up a New Topic! Like Janet Anderson, I had 
always just kind of assumed he was Marge's boyfriend (not necessarily 
willingly, but simply overpowered by her commanding personality; not 
necessarily romantically, depending on how much interest either of 
them has in that sex stuff) but am impressed by your explanation that 
the broken wineglass stuff might be a clue that he might be a wizard.

Too true.

<< Looking at everyone at the Burrow, the only problem I see *is* 
Percy. First off, he is overly dedicated to the MoM. "He'd never 
come home, if dad didn't make him" ( please forgive the paraphrase). 
Fudge leaves at the end of GoF after a row with Dumbledore on how 
things   should proceed in light of Voldie's return to power. I, for 
one, think that Percy will side with Fudge. Thus, Percy learning of 
Sirius is dreadfully dangerous. He wants to get ahead in the world 
and in his job at the MoM. What better way that to capture Sirius 
Black - a man still considered by most Voldie's right hand man? >>

Well, JKR has tried, via Ron, to make us think that the Twins might 
turn him in for the reward money. The Ron-haters allege that that is 
Ron projecting his own greedy treason on them. I can't bring myself 
to seriously suspect the Twins OR Ron. 

JKR has given us a very good feeling about Bill and Charlie, but 
really how much do we know about them? 

Besides Percy and his misplaced loyalty, the other danger might be 
dear Ginny -- the Trio AND her parents seem determined to leave her 
in the dark, "spare" her from knowing the troubling things that the 
adults are worried about -- so if she accidentally discovers that 
Sirius Black is lurking around in dog form, and no one has told her 
that he is innocent and they are hiding him, she might well report 
him with the best of intentions!

what happened in the Chambers of the Stone (Philosopher's Stone - 
Book 1)? To what extent, especially the Weasleys, does anyone know 
what happened in the Chamber of Secrets or the Shrieking Shack? >>

Well, in GoF we have Ron happily telling everyone an ever more 
exagerated version of his adventure as an underwater hostage. I 
gather he likes attention enough that he'd be happy telling stories 
of Harry's adventures, altho' he likes admiration enough to prefer 
telling stories of his own heroism. I expect Ron has told everybody 
everything that he was wasn't sworn to secrecy on and he doesn't 
think it will get him in trouble and he doesn't think it will get 
any other good guys in trouble -- so I don't think he'll tell where 
Sirius is hiding, but he might well tell about Sirius having been 
innocent, framed by Pettigrew, who was his rat Scabbers!

And I get the general impression that Hermione doesn't keep much 
from McGonagall after it's over and Dumbledore has handled all the 
punishments and absolutions.

<< But this raises an interesting question- does Harry connect Snape 
and the green light simply because his subconcious knows this green 
light is connected to his parent's death and therefore Voldemort, and 
Harry's immediate reaction to Snape is that he is evil and therefore 
also connected with Voldemort? Or was Harry remembering Snape along 
with that fateful night because Snape really WAS there? >>

Also, was Draco's role in the dream only that Draco and Snape were 
the two Slytherins who had impressed Harry with a strong desire not 
to be Sorted into Slytherin, or was it also something about Lucius 
(whom Draco strongly resembles) having been in the Godric's Hollow 
attack with LV and Snape? Personally, I feel that LV brought only 
Wormtail with him on that occasion, but I'm frequently wrong.

<< If Voldemort doesn't have his own body anymore, where does he keep 
his spirit when he doesn't have a host body? Does it just float 
around? >>

Yes, Voldemort in spirit form (called Vapormort or Vapor!Mort in some 
recent posts) just floats around some limited area in a forest in 
Albania. I get the impression that he CANNOT leave that area without 
a body, such as possessing the body of a woodland animal or a human 
visitor, or making the UglyBaby body. I get the impression that 
whenever Voldemort gets de-bodied, Vapormort flies at high speed 
directly to that one area. I assume that he is pulled there and held 
by something like magnetic attraction. I speculate that the reason 
for such a magnetic attraction is that he performed some spell in his 
immortality project in that place.
