yeah sorry about this, but I was simply wondering whether anyone had 
any ideas on WHY and HOW the Bones were, if indeed they are, 
significant, I didnt have the book with me, and all this has brought 
up is a childish squabble about how and when they were introduced, 
and suchforth. 

Would it not be better to say, they have been brought up in most of 
the books, and have had loses of their family at Voldy's doing. 

Question: any thoughts on how they could be significant?? One theory 
was that they are the descendants of Hufflepuff. Any other ideas???

Sorry I'm being blunt, I just think you took the question the wrong 
way
