I love this theory! I always knew there was something about the gum
wrapper, but I never thought about it being an anagram. So, I decided
to see if I could figure one out. The Dig D.L. part has bothered me
because there is only one "D" in the phrase "Droobles Best Blowing
Gum", but there are two "d's" used in the "Dig D.L." portion of the
anagram you found. I'm not 100% sure on the rules concerning anagrams,
but I thought each letter could only be used the number of times it
was present.
In any event, I came up with "Nobles, dig below Urg's tomb". Perhaps
it is a stretch, but since the next book is about a "half-blood
prince", maybe this prince really is noble and he needs to get a
shovel and dig below Gringotts bank, Hogsmeade, or wherever the bones
of Urg the Goblin are buried.
Any other thoughts?
