I haven't seen *tons* of discussion along those lines.  (Though I 
only joined this group back in December or there abouts, so take 
that for what it's worth.)  However, Alla posted some of Elkin's 
original post on that theory not too long ago, and there was a 
spattering of discussion.  My thoughts are here:

I think it's a fascinating idea and, though there isn't any 
definitive proof, there's enough to keep the theory alive, IMO.

Starting at this post here:

there's a bit of discussion about McGonagall's punishments and their 
cruelty level.  Just for more to chew on.  :)
