Annemehr:
You just made the lightbulb appear over my head -- could this be the
first appearance of dragon's blood?  Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog card
mentions that he'd discovered twelve uses for it, which, of course,
must *not* be dark uses, so maybe it will come in handy for the Order
one day soon.  And you can bet that every bit of that card is going to
be important before the end.

Now I'm wondering if anyone's discovered twelve *dark* uses for
dragon's blood?

Welcome to the group!  We always need arcane knowledge, since JKR
seems to have put a little bit of *everything* in there!
