I just had to pick this one up because I really don't think it is 
true. It is what I call a fannacy (geddit!). In the books there are 
plenty of things that glow green or involve green light (think of 
floo powder flames etc) - probably because green just is a good 
colour for magic. We fans often think of AK because it is much more 
significant. There are far more wonderful conclusions to be drawn 
from the premise that the above is true than if green light /could/ 
mean almost anything.

Also, cross reference my (and others') exitement that the ring looks 
like it has lightning on it. This led me to several immediate 
conclusions before I realised I was guilty of fannacy somewhere along 
the line. It isn't that I don't think that there is anything in it - 
there very well could be - it is just that in our desperation to find 
significance we may leap to conclusions citing falsehoods as 
evidence. I love the speculations, but find it difficult when 
contingent things are treated as proven. Especially as I know I do it 
all the time!

And if you are still not convinced of the terrible power of fannacy, 
chant the mantra 'Remember Mark Evans'.

JMO, you understand.
