Big D:

If we're sticking to the common theory that the HBP must, in fact, 
be a half-blood, then Percy doesn't qualify. But it's really hard to 
say for sure....it could be a slight play on words, with HBP 
indicating a champion of half-bloods, rather than an actual half-
blood. That would support the theories of many that Dumbledore is 
the HBP, and also rather indirectly supports my ideas regarding 
Godric Gryffindor.

If that is the case, that sure would be a surprise, to have the 
estranged Weasley son turn out to be a major player in the next 
book. Good job spotting that.

Big D:

I thought it was established that all his "sneaking around" in CoS 
was because he was secretly meeting up with Penelope Clearwater? Am 
I remembering that incorrectly?
