Googling "Spinners End" I found that it is the name of
a romantic book by Mary Minton: http://www.alibris.com/

According to the book review this is a place in London,
but it doesn't appear like it really exists.

Check the symmary and you will find that the story
(heavily snipped) is about Francine Chayter who visits
her father in London. She wants to know her father better
but he hates the sight of her. "an unexpected trip to
Monte Carlo brought her a suprise revelation about her
mother"
Well............. which character in the potterverse is in
a somewhat similar situation?
who can "the spinner" be a reference to?
why would Luna's father "hate" her?
and what is the suprise revelation about her mother?

which character in the potterverse is in a somewhat
similar situation? Luna of course .......
who can "the spinner" be a reference to? Mr Lovegood,
editor and publisher of The Quibbler -- spinner can also
mean "spinner of tales" like her father always did in
articles printed in the Quibbler (someone creative has
to be making up those stories)
why would Luna's father "hate" her? and
what is the suprise revelation about her mother?
Luna's dad can hate her because she was the indirect
cause of the death of his wife in that experiment that
went awfully wrong. What experiment? Some have said that
Luna was bitten by a werewolf as a child and her mom
tried to develop a charm, spell or potion to cure her.
The spell was not successful and her mom died trying to
save her daughter (sounds like a Lilly-like sacrifice to me)
We know the werewolf potion was a recent development
and that her mom died a year or so after harry entered
hogwarts. We know that Luna loves her dad, but can we
assume the opposite?
I wonder......
So as I have said before,
Mr. Lovegood WILL meet his end before the HBP is
too far along.
the dark lord is seriously bothered with him since
he published the Harry interview
Luna is still at Hogwarts looking for her stuff
after the end of term
if they are going on vacation to sweden over the
summer then it would make sense for Mr Lovegood to
publish a final summer edition before leaving
giving Goyle Sr., who was not at the MoM prime opportunity
to trash the quibbler and kill Mr. Lovegood
If you read this far without falling off your chair,
maybe you might actually think it is possible, or even
extend the RIP!MrLovegood theory.
