First of, this is Mindy, on a different email address... I couldnt handle
the vast amount of digests coming in to my emailbox, it was like a digest
every five minutes! And I didnt want to my box to overflow, so I started
a 2nd account solely for HPFGU digests. I chose Molly Weasley as my email
address because she is the kind of mother I am striving to be. She's
amazing. Unfortunately, MollyWeasley was taken as a screen name so I had
to settle for Molly Weazley! I wonder who took that name, and if theyre
around on this site, and if there really is a person named Molly Weasley
alive today! That would be funny.

I get the feeling that no one is really reading each other's posts, but
just bringing up tons of their own posts and long winded rambles. I
posted several dozen questions and maybe two of them received a response.
I'm puzzled and miffed.

But anyway, here is a very important question that I am repeating for the
third time, with the hopes that someone take notice of it:

* Can you explain where the Order members were that fateful night when
the Death Eaters infiltrated the Department of Mysteries? They were
guarding the prophecy so faithfully for months and months, and on that
particular night when Voldemort lured Harry down to the DoM, no one was
around to see them there? that's strange... how come they showed up
later? Who tipped them off?

* This question, I haven't reaised yet, but I'm curious... Note the
absence of a Maternity Department in St. Mungo's. What *is* the birthrate
in the Wizarding World? You  never hear mention of someone being
pregnant, someone giving birth... no one gets a new sibling or
niece/nephew... no mention of people getting married either... There's
like this huge generational gap between the Hogwarts generation and the
MWPP generation.. No young couples? No little babies? Where do these
people give birth, at home? or is there a separate hospital? 

Maybe we'll see a Bill/Fleur marriage in Book Six... it seems ppl have
missed that vague reference in OoP...

I'm betting ten galleons that this post won't even get answered ;)
