Very true. You've written a well constructed theory, and I'd like
to throw a little additional JKR type astronomical "name"
information into the mix. Sirius, the Dog Star, is the brightest
star in the sky, but it is actually part of a binary star system in
which two stars exist; Sirius A and Sirius B. One star, a white
dwarf, is dimmer and less bright than the other. Until the last
century, it was unknown and hidden behind the brighter star. Given
JKRs propensity for plot-associated prophetic names, I've been
wondering if a Sirius B will eventually be revealed to the readers
as a substitute or reincarnation or alter-ego of Sirius. Or
perhaps, dogs, like cats, have more than one life?
