I have decided to repost something I wrote earlier about this 
subject, which is unusual for me. But, it wasn't replied to last time 
I think I caught the tail end of the thread. So here's hoping my 
suggestion gets debated at more length this time round.:D

In some personal correspondence a fellow HP worshipper and I have 
elaborated on some conjecture about who is Harry's Godmother.
I made a wildly stupid guess, thinking I would be laughed at till 
next book release, I guessed Minerva Macgonagall.

Instead of bales of cheery galumphs and a sympathetic pat on the 
back, my friend pointed out to me some interesting things in support 
of my outlandish accusation.

My first proposition was that, Mrs Macgonagall being Godmother could 
explain her mysterious prescence at Privet Drive in the first scenes 
of the series. To my amazement someone has agreed that this could be 
quite valid reasoning. And furthermore, added that dear Old Minnie 
cuts a bit of extra slack for Harry, though she tries really hard not 
to, and has been suspected of favouring Harry by many. Perhaps its 
*not* that she is a _Gryffindor_, that this suspicion is supported.

Well on a final note I wanted to point out that Harry's Godfather 
bought him a top of the line Broomstick, only one other character in 
the books is guilty of the same act of love.
