Ohhhhhh!  Great ideas Christy and mlle_bienvenu!  If Neville had his 
own wand...Hmmmmm....VERY COOL concept.  
Bouncing!  hehehhehehe.  Well that is a talent we have not seen 
Voldie have is it?????  

Me?  I'm wondering about the gum wrapers myself!  What if this is not 
some silly thing afer all?  Maybe it is a clue?  Maybe it is another 
red herring.  LOL.
