And what about Pince's crazy behavior in the library (HBP, ch15).  JKR makes a point of 
letting us know that she is near enough to listen to Harry and Hermione discussing the 
potions book and then freaks out when she sees Harry with it...maybe cause it was hers?  
She is described as well as "vulturelke" "sunken cheeks" "long hooked nose"...sound like 
anyone we know!?

Also out of curiousity...what is the Hogwarts Gobstones Team that Eileen Prince was 
captain of?
