"...we're *told* the information in the books is real. In COS, Lockhart says: "There was work involved. I had to track these people down. Ask them exactly how they managed to do what they  did." (US, chap. 16, p.298). So Molly could consult them as an accurate resource (if what he said is true)."

Granny responds:

Good points!  Seems to me that JKR is trying to convey to us the extent of Molly's fear and worry, her desperation.  Granted, she may not seem such a strong link in the chain, but SOMETHING is nagging at Molly and we can see by her nervous erratic behaviour that she can't quite put a finger on it; but she knows somethings not right; part of the puzzle is missing.  Hence, she's digging for clues regardless of any knowledge that she may or may not have about Lockhart's deeds.  Surly this must be significant.

I for one am convinced that there are plenty of clues in Book 2 as well as others that are staring us right in the face.  For example, in Book 2 (if memory serves me right) we meet Crookshanks, the cat.  He is described as bandy legged and ginger colored, and Ron notes the strange shape of his face.  In Book 4, there is a similar description of Mundungus--bandy legged and having reddish hair, and a description of his strange features.  Also in Book 4, we are reintroduced to Mundungus along with Arabella, cat lover.  Excuse the expression, but I smell a rat.  JKR is up to something here.  Anybody have any ideas?
