The Fifth of November
Gunpowder, Treason and Plot
I see no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot

Huzzah! This is the first long-post in-depth analysis which makes 
perfect unmitigated sense! What this has that others don't is the 
element of familiarity. We Americans might not see it, but JKR's 
target demographic (literate pre-teens) in Britain would get it right 
away. It also bolsters my theory that The Potter Chronicles is not so 
much fantasy/allegory as it is a Ripping Yarn wherein the magic is 
not a theme but a running gag.
