Troll's leg umbrella stand

There's a passage in Terry Pratchett's "The Fifth Elephant" where his 
protagonist, Vimes, is appalled to find a troll's head mounted on the 
wall of the embassy he has just taken over. Pratchett certainly uses 
this as a bit of social commentary, as SSSSusan suggests JKR is doing 
with the umbrella stand. I just hope Jo gets the next book out soon, 
before we all drive ourselves mad trying to find significance in such 
bizarre references. We need something REAL to get our teeth in.
