Jen: Yes! I was reminded of unicorns too, and forgot to weave that 
theme into my post. Luna reminds me of a unicorn for the "purity" 
factor--pure of spirit rather than other meanings.  FBWTFT doesn't 
have any additional information from what we learned already: That 
unicorn foals are gold and turn silver with maturity (nice symbolism 
there perhaps), the horn, blood and hair all have highly magical 
properties, and that unicorns are more likely to allow a witch to 
approach than a wizard.

So, don't know if that spurs any thoughts for you re: Luna--my 
creative thoughts are ebbing at the moment!
