Thanks.  :-)

dcgmck:
I also believe that Molly would do the same.  Though I lack canonical 
proof, she seems to be Gryffindor material as much as any of the 
others.  Given the opportunity, I don't see her falling apart; 
rather, she's far more likely to accept reality and deal with it 
pragmatically than she has hypothetical situations.  It's the fear of 
possibilities, not reality that daunts her.

you think?  It seems to me that it must not.  In particular I'm 
thinking of Quirrell!Mort.  DD may have suspected Voldy was near to 
returning and may have suspected--with Snape's help--that Q. was in 
on it, but I can't imagine that he knew he was under Q.'s turban....

While I'm reluctant to credit DD with omniscience, he wouldn't be the 
first person to ever present that appearance to the world.  As far as 
LV is concerned, I think that there's the whole irresistible force 
vs. immovable object thing going on there.  LV, when fully charged, 
is quite capable of putting up the same kinds of magical defenses 
against detection that others use.  (Note:  same kind is 
not 'same'.)  However... an uncharged or discharged current is as 
difficult to discern as a shielded one, so I think that DD's failure 
to detect LV catching a ride with Quirrel is not beyond 
plausibility.  DD was clearly aware as soon as LV made a move on HP 
in the chamber below the seventh floor.

Say, do you suppose GG also had a chamber built?
