         At the risk of being crude, we've already got a Peter.  Since 
Peter is British slang for *ahem*, and Dick is American slang for *ahem*, 
*technically* you could make the case that it's Wormtail.  He's 
significant.  Very significant.  And he's got the weird cross-generational 
connection for Harry and Tom/Voldie.  Hence...

Sushi, sliding back into her lurker hole now before this gets any sillier
