should not have worked. I suspect part of the reason Dumbledore seems
secretly pleased when he hears the details of the ritual is that
Voldemort *did* get it a bit wrong. He used the bone of an enemy and
the blood of his father. (And yes, I do think Dumbledore knows that
HP is Voldemort's father.)
Now Lissa, c'mon......
Its pure brilliance! How could you call it "hogwash" or "nonsense".
I have long held the suspicion that the Voldemort story spans all
known time in the wizarding world, but never, have I seen so much
well concieved interpretation of book canon to back it up in such a
enigmatic way.
To me, this theory is outlandish to the nth degree but entirely
concievable.
I am not sure Jk will go as far as to place Ginny and Harry at the
head of the Slytherin ancestry, but how can I know, she has caught me
napping on so many occasions. I have no right to be judging

what the Great One will write next.
No, I did not err in my statement about the head of the Slytherin
ancestry either. I think that Hermione insisting we all
read 'Hogwarts a History' just once in our lifetimes is the big,
seemingly inconsequential clue to the future of Harry Potter.
THe ghost of the grey lady of Ravenclaw is the ghostly sadness to be
revealed in future books.
*^_^* I have just, now formulated the one question I would so like to
ask JK to answer.
What would Hermione tell me if I asked her who was the Grey lady?
Oh, we are so wavering in improbableville on the edges of impossible-
land, what a trifle if we proved to be even partway close to the real
mystery of the continuing Harry potter saga.
keep up the fun arm twisting Lissa I am with you.
