Carol Notes:
Theo *is* the "stringy Slytherin boy" who saw Thestrals. JKR has just
confirmed this speculation on her website in, IIRC, The FAQ section.
(Hooray! I was right on that one, too. Sorry. Still haven't quite
gotten over Mark Evans.)

Carol, who hopes that Theo will provide interesting insights into the
mental and emotional struggeles faced by intelligent Slytherins who
don't mindlessly follow the party line
