Yes.  >:) More alchemy.  John Granger mentioned, in _The Hidden key 
to HP_, how the three stages of alchemy/Harry's soul purification 
etc. had characters corresponding accordingly: Black (sirius), White 
(albus), and .... Red (Rubeus), upcoming, to play an important part 
in a future book, theorizes Granger?  Backup for this may be the fact 
that JKR told Robbie Coltrane secret background stuff on his 
character that we do not know yet.

(and for the poster who pointed out the hot-harry in ootp, Granger 
wondered if Luna was the moist/dampening/quenching influence who not 
only calmed Harry at the end of ootp but would do so more in the 
future...)
