>>Also, is there some way that Harry can be a descendent of both 
Salazar Slytherin AND Godric Gryffindor ?>>

Well...in CoS, Dumbledore states(typos aside), that Tom Riddle was 
the last descendent of Slytherin.  So..unless you want to buy into 
Voldemort is Harry's Grandfather and that Dumbledore doesn't know 
what he's talking about, then there's really no way for Harry to be 
descendent from both.


>>Karkaroff will be back in book 5, and possibly take up
his rank as DE once again.>>

I don't know if I'll see that happening...I'm one of the ones that 
takes Karkaroff to be the "coward" mentioned at the end of GoF.  I 
got the impression that those that didn't show up at the Meeting in 
the Graveyard(the ones that didn't have an acceptable excuse, anyways-
 and I think only being dead or imprisoned were acceptable, unless 
you happened to be named Crouch) were going to be considered traitors 
and killed(of course).  


>>As Professor of astronomy, it seems that she probably has
seen exactly the same things the centaurs are reading in the stars. 
Although McGonnagall doesn't beleive in "fortune telling" (could not 
trusting the wisdom of others be McGonnagall's dire weakness?), 
Sinistra could be a valuable key for either Dumbledore or Voldemort 
in predicting the future, and figuring out what to watch for. She 
would have somewhat inside information for the forthcoming wizard war 
based on the stars.>>

Whoops, got your definitions mixed up there, bud.  

Astronomy(what Sinistra teachers):The scientific study of matter in 
outer space, especially the positions, dimensions, distribution, 
motion, composition, energy, and evolution of celestial bodies and 
phenomena.

Astrology(what Trelawney and the Centaurs use):The study of the 
positions and aspects of celestial bodies in the belief that they 
have an influence on the course of natural earthly occurrences and 
human affairs. 

I wish we'd get a peak inside the Astronomy classroom, instead of 
just hearing about it's homework.  I beleive that's the only class 
the Trio is taking that we don't get the inside scoop on.  Makes me 
wonder, it does...


>>-----Pertaining to Neville...He owns Trevor, an amphibian, his 
uncle's name 
is Uncle Algie- like Algae, and Crouch/Moody gives him a book on 
water plants. 
Coincidences? I think not.>>

Also, Neville has been said to be good at Herbology(ties into the 
water plants book).  I believe that boy has got a bit of a green 
thumb, and like others I'm waiting for him to come into his own
(perhaps even in Book 5, who knows).  If you're making a tie to 
Neville and water...well, I really can't see him being much of a 
swimmer.  But maybe we'll find out Neville takes secret midnight 
trips down to the Lake to converse with the Merpeople at night... :)


>>And, ALDREA...are you out there? You'll be at a Swim Meet on June 
21! I'm a 
hardcore swimmer too! Have fun and good luck...so sorry to hear 
you'll be 
missing the first day of OoP!>>

I'm out here!  Yep...it's a home meet, though, so atleast I won't be 
getting back til about 7, I'll be done anywhere from 1-3.  Not too 
bad, I shall be home and reading in no time(of course, I'll probably 
go insane from the heat and the lack of food coupled with the wanting 
of my OoP  X.X ).

~Aldrea, looking forward to both her home swim meet and the arrival 
of her Order of the Phoenix.
