SSSusan:
Thanks for clarifying.  I think it makes a difference in how one 
predicts, from your earlier model, WHO Book 6 will be about.  With 
you idea in mind, when you said the person is "related to" Harry, it 
bears on picking another "related to" person for Book 6.  With a 
fairly loose definition of "relation" it really opens the field of 
candidates up, wouldn't you say?
