   Okay, I have no problem with most of what you said, but the Easter Egg 
thing plays into something else I've been tossing around in my head since 
GoF. Rita Skeeter goes out of her way to stir up trouble, everybody KNOWS 
that, and yet *it still works*!!!
   Sorry, I'm not at home right now, so I'll have to approximate my references 
again. Basically, just before the last task, Molly tells Amos Diggory off for 
blaming Harry for what RS wrote about the Triwizard Champions, because 
everybody knows that RS tries to stir up trouble, but then Harry has to turn 
around and remind her of the same thing very soon thereafter??? That's not 
Molly being mean-spirited, there's something else going on there.
   Personally I think it has something to do with that Quick Quotes Quill of hers, 
but I guess we won't find out for sure until she's allowed to write freely again.... 
Say... that's coming up, isn't it?... 8^)
