Carol:
One more bit of supporting evidence for Godric Gryffindor (who, like
Tom Riddle, is first introduced in CoS) as HBP: that ruby-encrusted
sword. Doesn't it seem like an odd weapon for a wizard to use or own,
but perfectly appropriate for the half-blood son of a Muggle king who
married a sorceress (witch)? Something along the lines of King
Arthur's liason with Morgause, only a real marriage and not to his
half-sister. This would be before the estrangement between Muggles and
Wizards became significant (pre-witch burnings, for one thing), and
that estrangement probably occurred later in Celtic areas like Wales
(GG is Welsh, right?) where Druids might still have had some influence
in GG's time, than in Saxon-dominated areas, at least in JKR's version
of history.

Thoughts, anyone?
