Angie replies:
Good one!  Never thought about the leak (that's plot device I can 
live with).  You would think that the goblins would fight tooth and 
nail to prevent that story from leaking, since their claim to fame is 
that their vaults are so secure.  I'm wondering why you think DD 
would leak it -- just to rub LV face in it?  

Sort of tangentially related, I've always wondered if there is 
something important we haven't been told about Gringotts, Bill, and 
Charlie, since Bill works for Gringotts (which is rumored to be 
protected by dragons) and Charlie works with dragons.
