Excellent point, RB. What I meant was in terms of strategy Trelawny 
was an odd choice for DU to pick on, meaning that she wasn't as 
important to DD as MM or Snape or Hagrid, unless of course DU knew 
about the prophecy and had some ulterior motive, but I never 
considered that DU would just pick on people to pick on them. Thanks 
for pointing that one out to me. Anyway, see you back on the lists. 
Meri - who actually felt bad for Trelawny in Order when she was all 
drunk and depressed...
