Hi.  De-lurking after surgery (successful).  

Two comments.

1. Concerning DD asking for Winky.

   I think that DD wanted Winky to hear from Crouch jr's own lips that he murdered his father.  She knew that he was at Hogwarts and even though she was no longer his house-elf, she felt responsible for his escape.  Working at Hogwarts was the only way she could be close to him, and maybe save him from danger if she found out about it.  Hearing of the murder forced Winky to realize that her loyalties had been misplaced and now, perhaps, she will be able to function at Hogwarts.

2.  OOP bookcover.

   I don't know why, but my first thought was that the MG cover was just a "mock up" and that the colors would be added in before the actual printing.  All that blue made everything hard to discern.  I'm sure that Scholastic is getting responses to the cover and if enough people ask for it to be a little more "accessible," they could simply print colored covers.  After all, they have 3 months.

Just some thoughts.
