There have been so many postings that I haven't been able to see if 
anyone else has posted this query so if they have I apologise!  What 
does everyone think of Molly's response to the news of Ron becoming a 
prefect?  On p149 of the UK edition Molly says "A prefect! That's 
everyone in the family!"  to which George replies "What are Fred and 
I, next-door neighbours?"

My thirteen year old son and I wondered if it is too far-fetched a 
theory BUT could Ginny in fact be Harry's sister?????  Harry would 
have been fifteen months old when Lily died  plenty time for Lily to 
have had another child who would have been in the year below Harry at 
school  or does this theory sound just a little TOO much ike Star 
Wars?

By the way, some earlier postings queried the use of the slang term 
WOTCHER, as someone who grew up in east London I can confirm that it 
commonly means over here "What are you doing?"  (prounded WOT YA DOO 
IN'?) in other words how is life treating you.

One other point.... the US fans keep mentioning about illustations in 
the book (chapter headings?) but the UK edition has no illustrations 
other than the front and back cover and the back cover shows the 
fountain of magical brethren.  Could some nice kind person scan the 
illustrations and post them for us?
