Okay, I like this theory, however there is one thing that disturbs me about
it. Why is it so dark? All the hospitals I have ever been in have been
bright and clean, shiny almost. Especially those meant for the "insane." I
don't think a dark place would be good to put people, like Neville's
parents, who have already been through so much. And while this theory does
conveniently explain away the twin beds (two beds in a room, the way I am
used to the phrase being used) and makes the snake door knob a "good" thing,
I don't think we are looking at St. Mungo's. Although Harry might of just
come from there, like someone else had mention!

And just wondering did JKR say it OOP would only have ONE new place in it?
Could someone point me in the direction of that interview? I can't seem to
find it. Thanks!
