 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?
