Thanks to whoever thinks my idea is a good one! Just in reply to 
Carol, I originally read the book that way (people coming out of the 
shadows), but when I re-read the quote, it does say that they 
emerged 'out of thin air', NOT 'out of the shadows'. I think that if 
they had come out of the dark, that's how it would have been 
written. (I also like the idea that that is how DD was watching 
Harry looking in the mirror.)
