       Good point. I thought of that first when Sirius pointed him out, then 
someone here posted a different translation of Nigellus. Hmm...well, 
hopefully, we'll see more of the tree later on.

       And I wonder about the contracts house elves have...might be fun if 
old Phineas was the one who first 'contracted' Kreature's ancestors and can 
command him, much like Kreature was taking orders from Mommie's portrait.
