Hi,

I simply think this is a very interesting and crucial information. we already know JKR based Mrs Norris on the Mrs Norris in Austen´s Emma.  So why shouldn´t she be inspired by a book she probably read: Spinners
End?

akh: I vote with the place-name folks. There would be copyright infringement issues, even if the book weren't in print, as long as it hasn't passed into public domain, which it sounds as though it hasn't.  Spinners End has great potential for being Harry's escape from Privet Drive, whether it's the new OOP headquarters or just a refuge.  

OT, I've been trying to resist nit-picking your nice post,but I'm a RABID Jane Austen fan, and I am compelled to say that Mrs. Norris is Fanny Price's aunt in Mansfield Park.  There!  Now I can go back to being a quasi-normal person.

akh, who is currently reading a biography of Jane Austen
