Can you imagine the money they'd raise at auction on her outlines?  
Just a few words from book five went for so much!  I hope she lets 
everyone take a look though.  And yes, I do think she knew who 
Scabbers was from the beginning.  He seems like one of those integral 
parts of the story and probably the conclusion.  Thank you for the 
link.
