OOP: Switching Spells--NOT Lupin and James

[Lea]

Hello all--

Is anyone else out there thinking that Switching Spells are going to 
play a major role by Book 7?  I don't mean the "James and Lupin 
switched bodies" theory, because that seems very, very far-fetched, 
and we do have a few proofs that it really is James who died, which I 
won't discuss unless I'm asked--I really do think James is dead, 
though.

Anyway, all these mentions we've had of Switching Spells without ever 
really learning what they are makes me sort of suspicious. 

We do know a few things about them:

1.  You could switch a dragon's fangs for winegums (only if you were 
really lucky, I bet) (GOF)
2.  Neville switched his ears onto a cactus in Transfiguration class 
(don't remember which book)
3.  Harry FORGOT THE DEFINITION of the Switching Spell during his 
Transfig. O.W.L. (OOP)

WHAT???  Whaddaya mean he forgot the definition?  I know I can't be 
the only one whose curiosity was piqued about this spell after that 
episode.  And although I have no theories on what their use will be, 
I'm sure they'll be important.

Any ideas, anyone?
