Jen: I don't understand this point, Celestina, because we already 
know Lily's blood is vitally important for Harry's protection. Do 
you mean you think the Potter's bloodline will be important for the 
*rest* of the story as opposed to Lily's origins (and thus Petunia 
and Dudley's blood as well)? That could definitely be true. Please 
point me to your theory on this--now I'm curious!

Thanks,
Jen Reese
