Paula now:
That's what it is, thanks Leb!  I remember now a tale that I read as a child about how unicorns could only be tamed by virgins or would only go to a virgin (This was a long time ago, at the time didn't really understand what a virgin was).  Even when Hagrid introduces them, he tells the students that the unicorn always prefers girls and comments on their silvery color.  It's probably safe to assume that the girls in Harry's class are still virgins.  Anyway, this makes the connection of Luna riding side-saddle.  Just remembered too that in SS/PS, someone (Sorry, don't have my book here) was witnessed, surely it was LV, drinking the blood of a unicorn in the Forest.  Yes, this adds a whole new dimension to the Luna Thread.  Any ideas? Sorry, Dan, I'm not into the analytical aspects right now.  Still hung up on the plot development and devices.  Maybe later.
