Carol:
Am I missing something here? Moaning Myrtle as a prospective wife for
Sirius in an arranged marriage had they both lived? First, she was a
Muggle-born (which is why the Basilisk chose her as a victim, or
Riddle ordered it to kill her) and would be exactly the wife his
parents *wouldn't* have chosen for him, and second, she was a
contemporary of Tom, not of Sirius, and died before he was born. But I
could just be misreading your postscript. . . .
