mhbobbin:
The Photo: Lupin and Sirius are there.  Top of Page 174 
(Scholastic): "and that's Emmeline Vance, you've met her, and that 
there's Lupin, obviously" and in the middle of the page " Sirius, 
when he still had short hair". What is significant is that Wormtail 
sits with the Potters.

I think your observation about the Prewetts as a Woe of Mrs. Weasley 
is interesting---and would be significant if it was revealed in the 
story rather than by JKR herself. Or is it in the book somewhere?

As for the titles--there is much to watch out for. Irony. Wit. ETC 
in the titles.
