Hi Pippin

OK, first of all, I really, really can't see any of this. No clues no
nothing. No evidence whatsoever. Just a theory made up from missing
information and wishful thinking (sorry)

I have question for the British here though. I've been reading the
archive and there I read about the chocolate incident in the train at
the beginning of PoA as a clue for Lupin being evil, because of
warnings some here had as children against people giving away poisened
candy. Well, I did miss that clue completely, because in my country
those warnings don't exist. We are warned when we are children about
taking candy from strangers, but poisened candy? No, never, nothing.
No urban legends, does not exist. I know it is an American thing though. 

So does this fear of strangers handing out poisened candy exist in
Britain? If so, I still don't think its a clue, but if not, JKR cannot
have meant it as a clue, because it would not be in her mindset.

Curiously waiting for a reply,

Gerry
