Good point!  I was taking a course in handwriting analysis this summer 
and my teacher actually pointed out how JKR used handwriting in her 
books to sublty point out things - supposedly over in Europe 
handwriting analysis is a big thing.  My teacher pointed out Percy's 
signature in one of the books (can't remember which) and supposedly 
his hooked Y can only mean one thing - that he is destined to be 
either a criminal or simply evil.  (interesting - very interesting!)

But I noticed Dumbledore's changed handwriting too.  We'll have to 
wait and see!
