Geoff:
Maybe, but that raises a question. As Hester remarked, always 
assuming that it was the second anniversary of Harry, what 
significance should that have on Voldemort's decision to attack? The 
conception is over and done with, Harry is born and now 15 months 
old. I feel that some of the other thoughts about the choice of 
Hallowe'en must be nearer to the truth. Whether we ever find that out 
is open to question....
