Peg:
As one of the original crew of the good ship SILK GOWNS (see Jen's
links for an explanation!) I'd be happy to see somebody else tackle
this. Sally (hermionegallo) and I worked ourselves to a frazzle
trying to come up with something that looked reasonable. We remained
pretty certain that there's a code there, somewhere, but couldn't
crack it.
We both suspected that Luna and Hermione will get together on this in
Book 6, but we wanted to beat JKR to the punch. Sadly, she seems to
have outfoxed us. And I ended up with indexing cards spread all over
my apartment.
vmonte, I think I still have some of the lists we generated. Drop me
an email off list, and I can send them on to you, just so you can try
and get a feel for what we were doing.
