Fascinating that you should note this, Carolyn. I have read both 
these portions of JKRs site and duh :D have never put two and two 
together. 
I must say I am impressed, at both, you for making the profound 
connection, and JKR for stuffing such a brilliant bit of possible 
canon right under our proverbial noses.

Suffice to say I am pretty darn sure that you are at least on the 
right track here. Jo has as good as *told* us, directly, what's 
gonna happen in chapter 1 of HBP somewhere...... If anything I 
observed in my hapless sleuthing it is the distinct air of, "I have 
already told you what.", in the 'Edits' text on this Book 6 first 
chapter.

This is why I love this list so.. without you guys I'd be blind and 
stumbling through the text with only my wild vivid imagination, and 
not a scrap of pure lucid observation. 

I am gonna *me too!* this one Carolyn.
Now lets get to speculating in vivid detail what that means.



P.S.
> Carolyn has taken to printing out dated pages from the website, 
after the wand order episode...

Absolutely! A *must* do!

best to You
