And how about those glasses? Given the frequency with which JKR
slips in seemingly trivial details which later turn out to be an
important clue or fit a grand scheme, I have to wonder if we are
supposed to be gleaning something from the 'wearing of/need for
spectacles'. Dumbledore, McGonagall, Harry and Mr. Weasley all wear
them, to name a few. Significant? Hmmm. Hard to say. What do you
think? Any pattern here?
