Nadine :

Maybe it is Croker who visited Bode... But if the kids recognized 
Bode lying in his bed as the bloke whom they saw at the World 
Quidditch Cup a few months before, they would have recognize Croker 
as well standing near St. Mungo's welcome desk. 

A couple of months ago (I'm sorry, I couldn't find the posts) there 
was speculations that the visitor was Wormtail in disguise with his 
silver hand transfigured into a hearing device.

I would like to stress the word «disguise» because I came across 
something interesting while I was rereading GoF. In the first 
chapter (The Riddle House), Wormtail tries to convince Voldy to use 
another wizard instead of Harry (for the dark magic rebirth potion) 
and he says : «You know that I can disguise myself most 
effectively.» Is Wormtail referring to his hability as an animagus 
or is he mentionning other ways of successfully transforming his 
appearance ?

I think the visitor was a DE nevertheless...

Nadine ;-)
