Hi all,

Remember the 7 words that went to auction that were clues to OoP?

To refresh, they were -: Ron, broom, new teacher, sacked, house 
elf,dies, sorry

Here's my take:

Ron -: Is made prefect, joins the Quiddich team becomes more 
confident.

Broom -: Ron gets a new one, Harry's gets confiscated

New teacher -: Hem hem... need I say more

Sacked -: Trelawney and Hagrid

House elf -: oohh that Kreacher

Dies -: sob sob.....

Sorry -: now this is were it gets interesting.  My immediate reaction 
is that its Dumbledore saying sorry but does he really?  Would he 
really have done anything differently if he had his time over?

Harry says sorry a lot (because of all the shouting he's doing to 
just about everyone) but there is an interesting passage when he 
apologies to Ginny for forgetting about Tom Riddle possessing 
her "Sorry... and he meant it".  I wonder why JKR put the "and he 
meant it" in there?
