Carol responds:
So, in other words, you think that JKR should answer the Dumbledore
question? I agree, but not for that reason.

First, I think it would be a mistake for the voters to choose a
"ys"/"no" question like the first one that JKR could shoose to answer
in such a limited way that it gave us virtually no information.
Second, she's already pretty much answered the Percy question in the
World Biik Day chat. At any rate, we know he hasn't been Imperio'd,
and it sounds as if he's just being proud, wrong-headed Percy who'll
end up being sorry for his mistake (or maybe dying for it).

The Peter question is interesting but not crucial to the plot (which
may be the point you were making as well), and we're bound to find out
in Book 6, anyway.

So that leaves the Howler. What *was* that about? How can a Muggle
(and I'll bet my wand she's a Muggle, not a witch and certainly not a
squib or the mother of a suppressed wizard) be in communication with
Dumbledore? What was his "last" and for that matter, what was his
"first" (the note tucked into baby Harry's blankets)?

My only concern is that the answer may be a spoiler. If so, I hope
nobody posts it without a spoiler warning and spoiler space!
