Pat:

That's really cute.  I hadn't made that connection.  What it made me 
think of when I read it was the way I keep re-reading all the HP 
books.  I strongly suspect that JKR has put some sort of spell on 
them so I can't put them down--at least not for long.  Oh, well, 
maybe not--it's probably just that I love her style of writing and 
love trying to figure out all the details.
