I completely agree with your precept Janeway. The Longbottoms were
/rumoured?/ to have specific knowledge of Voldies whereabouts, so it
makes sense that a secret message from Alice would entail something of
that nature. Besides I was never satisfied with Gold Bribe.. which I
*think* I am partially credited with after coming up with the
embarrassing Old Bridge below St Mungos theory and being corrected by
the spawner of the gold bribe theory.
So I like the concept that a Doobles anagram would led to information
about Voldies bones, plus I can see it as plot viable too. The
Lestranges might have intended to resurrect him, I can imagine that LV
left his faithful with exact instructions of how to do that, and
orders to do so in the event of his death.
As for the actual unscramble that you have suggested, well, it's OK
and could work, but I am not too sure yet wether its the right one
exactly. Have you come up with anything else based around the word dig
yet?
Just to carry on with the theory of Voldies bones for a little.. How
exactly do you suppose it might help in the fight against LV if
Neville digs him up?
