Thanks for the great post!   I love the word games in HP.   The 
above is a great catch ('well-spotted' as JKR would say).   I 
remember reading that part and just having the tiniest feeling that 
that spell sounded funny.    

For some reason the book is full of Evans -- Mark Evans, Lily Evans, 
evanescoe -- I think they are all hinting at something to come (not 
such a surprising hint, we knew that something has to be revealed 
about Lily in one of the next books).

I wonder if they are all going to be independently significant, or 
if it is just to create the "Evans" mood...
