Ugh...I never thought of the possibility that quote that's been 
released would be anything other than Dumledore beginning to 
tell Harry all about what happened the night his parents died, 
and perhaps a lot more. I really hope it's not anything so simple 
as that. 

I really have to think that JKR asked the publishers to release the 
book opening (flowerbed) and Dumbledore (everything) quotes 
because they have significant meaning, not to act as mere 
teasers for all of us poor salivating fans.

Has anyone though about the possibility that by now OoP is 
probably in the hands of a lot more people than it was two 
months ago (publishers, proofreaders, people designing and 
laying out the book, printers, etc...) and that maybe someone out 
there will leak some of the details? I know, it would spoil the fun 
of waiting until June (and I'd personally like to read it, not hear 
about it second-hand)...I'm also sure these people are 
professionals and their jobs could potentially be on the line if 
they were caught leaking info, but the possibility is out there, 
right? Does anyone know if there was any substantiated leaked 
info from GoF? How tight is security at Scholastic & Bloomsbury 
and their printers? (Probably better than that of a head-of-state's, 
eh?...)

Just wondering...
