  The name Dedalus comes from a Greek architect who built the Minoan 
labyrinth in which resided the famous Minotaur. It also means 
intricate in English. So far there has been nothing intricate about 
Diggle right? 
  May be he will build something intricate in the next book. Or may 
be he will help in making Azkaban more secure for holding all the 
death eaters that Dumbledore caught, now that the dementors have 
revolted! Well, I did think giants will man Azkaban now but they 
seem to be no match for dementors, because of Hagrid, so they will 
require extra help wherever they can get it.
 And if all thse top security prisoners can't be kept at Azkaban, 
Diggle might probably build a new makeshift prison for them!
