Sue: As good an idea as any. I always did wonder who or what 
the Dementors were, though, strictly speaking, they seem to 
have minds, however primitive, which the "reborn" of the 
Cauldron don't. But it sure makes more sense than the notion of 
Dementor families, baby dementors, etc. ;-)

Sue : Chuckle! Don't forget, though, that as a ghost you wouldn't 
be able to touch the books! Unless they were particularly smelly 
books? (g. See COS).
