Oliver:
That's slightly different. The idea of a mistaken identity is a 
strong *theme* throughout the books - things like the Polyjuice 
Potion, the Animagi, the Imperius Curse, and Voldemort's various 
possession-like things with Harry and Ginny question our entire 
conception of identity. What I'm saying is that this *method* of 
questioning identity has been used several times already, and so I 
don't think it'll really appear again.
