Julie:
I, too, read that pun in the essay about the chess game.  I still 
have problems, though, with the RW=DD thing, especially after 
reading the essay about the time turner Troels wrote.  IMVHO, DD and 
MM interact far too much with what is happening for them to be using 
a time turner, which according to Hermione in PoA is a direct 
violation of its use.  Speaking of PoA, this is what further boggles 
my mind, if MM=HG using a time turner, then she is telling herself 
to use a time turner while she is using a time turner.  Time upon 
time upon time...did I just pass myself?  I hope someone with a much 
better understanding of time travel will help me out with that one!
