>Then, after all the action fighting the Death Eaters, we aren't told 
which spell hit Luna, but are told that she "went flying throught the 
air,...hit a desk, slid over it's surface and onto the floor, and on 
the other side where she lay sprawled , as still as Hermione."  
Sounds pretty serious, but Hermione landed in the hospital wing as a 
patient, Luna didn't.  This fact is casually revealed when we're 
informed that Luna dropped in to visit.  (Bloomsbury Ed. page 746)  
IMHO, Luna is some order of being, or combination, not totally 
human.  I see her decision to join forces with H/R/H, the only non-
Gryffindor, as a foreshadowing to the subsequent revelation of an 
entire new "ethnic group" in the WW that we so far haven't met.  
Anybody pick up any hints in canon, or have ideas?<


Bohcoo responds:
There is also mention in OOP, ch. 35, page 795, American edition, of 
Luna escaping unscathed when those with her were seriously injured. 
This happened in the Planet Room where Ron got zapped with the 
giggles and Ginny suffered a broken ankle. Not a scratch on Luna:

"'I think her ankle's broken, I heard something crack,' whispered 
Luna, who was bending over her and who alone seemed to be unhurt."

I think you might be on to something. Luna does certainly have 
something magically unusual or special about her.

I also agree with the person who recently posted that Luna might be 
related in some way to Ollivander. Since so many of the wizarding 
families are related, this wouldn't be much of a coincidence.

(Apologies for not making note of this person's name. If I leave this 
message now to look it up, Yahoomort will vanquish this message into 
oblivion.)
