Patrick:
Indeed, but she has been wrong on occasion... I think. So I concede it
is possible that Arya could be right, but personally I feel that JKR
would have little reason not to share that fact with us.

And going back to vmonte's post concerning Flamel and OOtP, I still
don't see a connection between them. If the connection is from the
Stone in DD's protection, I don't think that was from any OOtP
influence other than someone (DD?) realized the stone would be a tool
for Voldy.
