Well done for trying Tonks!  IMO their answer does not answer your 
question at all.  It is an answer to a "Why does the British version 
say 'Trainers' when the US version says 'Sneekers'?" sort of question 
not "Why are there 2 additional references in the US version (there is 
a second one that's been discovered too) to pretending someone is dead 
when there are no references whatsoever to this in the UK version" 
sort of question!
