wow, you go away for a few days on this list and there's no catching 
up, but I'm enjoying the Lupin/spy thread, some good stuff there to 
mull on....

However, what has been exciting my notice recently is dragons.  A 
while ago on the list (sorry, have looked but can't find it) there 
was a good discussion around the charm Lily put on Harry and I am 
still puzzling over it.  Reading PS and GF again there seems to be a 
lot of mention of dragons. Here's some dragon points which I find 
interesting:

1 JK has said that Harry's eyes are important and that they are his 
vulnerability.  Dragon's eyes are their vulnerability.

2 On the back of the Chocolate Frog DD card, he is listed as having 
descovered the 12 uses of dragon blood.  I think this is one of those 
points which JK will further elucidate at some point. It's listed as 
one of DD major achievements.  Interestingly hermione is "reciting 
the 12 uses of dragon's blood" at the start of ch14 in PS. Did DD 
have anything to do with devising the charm Lily used to protect 
Harry?

3 Ch20 GoF (p295 British pb) "Dragons are extremely difficult to slay 
owing to the ANCIENT MAGIC that imbues their thick hides, which none 
but the most powerful spells can penetrate..."  (my capitalisation)  
they have/are imbued with the same type of magic which protects 
Harry. Also, if we assume that Voldemort did give Harry his scar, 
then maybe it is the result of the charm being penetrated.

4 Evans is a Welsh name and of course there is the Common Welsh Green 
dragon.  

I can't say that I've come to any conclusions yet, but has anyone 
else mused along these lines?
