the `Janus Thickey' ward. Why has this ward been named after Janus 
Thickey ? FB tells that Janus was a wizard who left a note that he 
had been attacked by a lethifold in 1973, when in fact he was 
discovered 5 years later living with the landlady of the Green Dragon 
a few miles away...

used as excuses by wizards who want to disappear, leaving just a 
last, scribbled desperate note.>


Now RSFJenny here:

Ohhhh!  Good reading! I hadn't noticed that. 

In the harmless sense, I can see how the name could be used because all these 
people have "disappeared" from the world, yet they are still alive and could 
potentially recover and "return".

But I much prefer how you pointed out that lethifolds leave no trace of their 
attack and that is so far definitely the case in the Longbottom's 
imprisonment. I need to think more on this...
