That does put a nice twist on the purpose of the Brain Room. Could it
be, for example, that the MoM tries to collect the brains of all the
powerful witches and wizards who die, so that the Death Eaters can't
get to them? Though I guess if that was the case, the DEs would have
taken the opportunity to raid that tank, when they invaded the DoM.
 
Still, I find it a nice little coincidence... >


Sigune:

Or, as Potioncat's question suggests to me, it puts a nice twist on 
the Ministry's attitude towards and the definition of Dark Arts... 
Does the Ministry collect brains to keep them from the Death Eaters' 
reach, or rather to use them for their own ends (which seems more 
likely to me)? And indeed, whose brains are these? Can they just be 
claimed from some person, living or dead? Or are they the wizarding 
version of articifial intelligence in development?
The Department of Mysteries is certainly aptly named :-).

Yours severely,
Sigune
