I was re-reading OoP and something caught my eye:
Page 336 US:
"The barmann sidled toward them out of a back roon. He was a
grumpy-looking old man with a great deal of long gray hair and beard.
He was tall and thin and looked vaguely familiar to Harry."
Page 335 reads:
"The Hog's Head bar comprised one small, dingy and very dirty room
that smelled strongly of something that might have been goats."
It struck me as notable that the barman looked familiar to Harry.
Re-reading the part about smelling like goats reminded me of
Dumbledore's comments about his brother performing illegal charms on a
goat. (Sorry for not referencing that one -- I don't remember which
book it's from.) Could the barman be Dumbledore's brother (hence the
familiarity from family resemblence).
Heidi R. who doesn't know what, if any, significance any of this
has...unless Dumbledore's brother is not on the "good side."
