All right, Kneasy, what are the odds on the runespoor? (FB p. 36 US)

Granted it is an African creature, but with all the Parseltongue 
action in the books, who knows?

The thing I find most interesting about it is that there are 3 heads, 
thinking independantly, yet acting as a unit.  Remind you of our 
trio?  

Left head (Harry) is the planner.  It decides where to go and what to 
do.

Middle head (Ron) is the dreamer.  It can lose itself in imaginings 
for days.

Right head (Hermione) is the critic.  It evaluates the others "with a 
continual irritable hissing."  

The right head's fangs are poisonous, and often the other two band 
together and bite off the right head.  

Ominous foreshadowing?  What are the odds?

Erm, sha'n't comment ;-)

(Quigon) Ginger, perhaps the least discerning of all.
