Geoff:
The problem here is that I cannot see this being a "ta-da" statement 
because of the questions which have arisen over this comment - namely, 
that it doesn't occur in the UK/Canadian editions. (HBP "The Lightning-
Struck Tower" pp.552-553 UK edition) is where has been inserted in the 
US printings.

Can it be such an important comment if it doesn't appear in the 
original script - which is how I would view the UK edition. Why was it 
changed for the US editions?
