nkittyhawk: yeah... I thought that was a bit... I don't know... 
disruptive of the scene. Almost as if it had been inserted there 
*wink wink* for reasons JKR isn't going to reveal until later. Maybe 
she is trying to say something to us (the readers) as well as Alice 
saying something to her son. Of course, being crazy and all, it 
would be a bit difficult to tell him coherently and directly.
