Me:  
Hmmmm.  Doesn't Lockhart say something about Harry and Ron losing 
their minds because they are so distraught about finding Ginny dead 
when he is getting ready to zap them with the memory charm??  (Or is 
that contamination from the film....)  Sounds like he was trying to 
more than just modify their memory of the day's events.  Elle
