And I will happily refer you to my post of early this past morning regarding
the elusive Aberforth:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/62743

As you can read in the post, I am of the opinion that dear, goat-loving
Aberforth has been skulking around the Hog's Head all along. Is he there to
keep an eye on unsavory sorts that gather there for the Order? Or, is he
just a crazy, dirty old bartender? I just refuse to believe that JKR would
keep dangling him under our noses without him having *some* small role to
play.

Obsessing over Aberforth,
