While reading this, a thought just hit me.... is there more to the 
fact that DD says he doesn't mind his loss of all his other honours 
as long as they don't take him of the chocolate frog trading cards 
than just putting a brave face on the situation? Or is that just too 
creepy that DD and the other wizards on the trading cards have access 
to millions of wizard homes?
