5  book.  I kept racking my brain, racking my brain....  WHAT could 
be  significant about Tonks stumbling over a severed troll's leg 
umbrella  stand?  WHY did GW go nuts about this thing being 
mentioned a couple of times in the OotP chapter on GP?

Potioncat:
Come to think of it, I've never seen discussion of any of the 
Waters' books on this list.  I remember once wondering about it, but 
the discussions that did come up were so interesting I never brought 
it up and had forgotten about it.

So?  What gives?
