OOP: Dorcas Meadows and Tonk (not related): Questions & Theories

[Angela Burgess]

No: HPFGUIDX 62609

Hi all!

So, due to having a extra copy of the book tonight only while my 
husband reads our copy, I came across a few things that made me 
pause.  One I had thought of earlier, but forgot to mention and the 
other just occured to me.

I should probably have searched but with the number of posts made in 
just the past 12 hours, it would take at least that long to see if 
anyone else had come up with either of these two ideas.

The first:
Dorcas Meadows

**Dorcas Meadows is one of the original members of OOP, who was 
killed personally by Voldemort.  Just an interesting sidenote, Dorcas 
is a woman in the book of Acts in the Bible who was raised from the 
dead by Peter (Acts 9:36) who is described as always doing good 
works.  
**Also, Dorcas means gazelle...get it, Gazelle Meadows?  

Anyway, I know she said that no one would be raised from the dead, 
but I just wonder how meaningful Dorcas' name really is.

Second:
Tonk and Metamorphmagi

**Tonk said that a Metamorph is a person that can change appearance 
at will
**Harry says in SS that he grew his hair back overnight the time that 
Petunia cut it all off (at will)

So, is Harry a Metamorph as well, or was he just lucky that time?

Any ideas or comments?
