As I was rereading OOP again, I was trying to connect all the dots on
Broderick Bode.  The trio figures out that he was killed because he
was regaining speech and memory.  But how did VM know that?  This
thinking led me to wonder, who was his visitor the day after Arthur
was attacked?  the old man with the listening device?  Was he as
innocuous as he seemed?  Was JKR just keeping Bode's name in our
minds, or is there more to this man than is obvious?
