Me:

Knezelkid, you may just be on to something there.  I remember that X-
File (sorry, the title escapes me).  The SILK GOWNS group has been 
meditating on "why the gum wrappers?" and you have made an excellent 
point.  What a pity JKR didn't tell us more at that time about the 
wrappers.  She may be saving it for Book 6. . .  No fair!
