ME:  I haven't seen any proof that this theory is incorrect yet.  I 
have been working with Jake on this and think that both the movies 
and books very purposely keep Hedwig and DD separate.  Harry even 
says in PS/SS..."I never get mail."  The ONE time he does...in the 
movie version...DD is not present and Hedwig sits in his place next 
to McG.

> 3. sleep in the owlery, etc...

ME:  Sure...Hedwig is often "in the owlery," where we can't see 
her/him (the gender arguement is the best one so far).

ME:  In OotP, DD shows how he truly feels about the ministry.  Not 
only is he not above deceiving the MoM, he takes great glee in 
defying them!

around and siad that DD was Hedwig, even with all refutable theories, 
it wouldn't make sense. >>>


ME:  If Wormtail can be scabbers...DD can be Hedwig.  Plus...I have 
yet to read any evidence that says that this theory MUST be 
incorrect.  Mostly the arguments are that it is unlikely.  I don't 
believe JKR is above doing the "unlikely."
