Now, A.G. again-

Andromeda of HP ran off with Perseus?  I missed that.  Most of the 
posts refer to Percy Weasley as Perseus or many refer to Severus 
Snape as Perseus Evans-to whom are you referring?

The literal Latin meaning of Narcissa is Daffodil, and I just think 
it would be incredible if when it is all said and done Draco the 
Dragon gets his come uppance by realizing his pure blood has been 
mixed in the past with Muggle blood and that he is related to Harry.

Something I have been wanting to ask someone-is the Hogwarts motto 
(which I think is "let sleeping dragons lie") foreshadowing of the 
possible wrath, horror, etc. we could see from Draco now that 
Dumbledore's army has forced his Dad to go to Azkaban?

A.G.
