Me too. I really thought I was on to something when I got:
"Tongs blubbered, I owl smog"
I.e. "Tonks is a spy, send an owl to Grimmauld Place" (smog =
Grimmauld Place, since it's in a grim part of London, a city once
famous for its smogs)
But then I realised that anagram contained a misspelling of Tonks'
name, but anyway let's keep an eye on her.
Still, it got worse when I realised it also could be
"Stubbled groin, ge owl smog"
which might indicate that Neville's mum wanted help on a personal
depilation problem. So I agree: too many options.
But I did do a trawl through the books for the word "wrapper". Most
of the occurrences don't look like foreshadowing (OK, they all
don't). There are a few around Gred and Forge and the Ton-Tongue
Toffee, and some random sounding ones when kids are eating sweets /
candy. There are none in PS/SS or CoS.
But there maybe something odd about this line from PoA:
"Everyone stared at him. Professor Lupin crumpled up the empty
chocolate wrapper and put it in his pocket."
Or maybe not.
Cheers,
Dumbledad.
