The Strange Case of the Altered Spelling

I was working on the Lexicon this evening, adding some of the 
tidbits of information from the World Book Day chat, when I realized 
something that surprised me...the spelling of Trelawney's first name 
isn't consistent. Am I correct in thinking that it's spelled 
differently in the US editions than it is in the UK ones? My US 
books say Sibyll, while someone emailed me that it's spelled Sybill 
in the UK version. Can anyone verify this for me? I'd like to add a 
note to the page about Trelawney as well as a note on 
the "Differences" page, but I don't own the UK versions to be able 
to check.

Thanks
