Tonks:

Hum.. reading this thread has led me down another path. Back to the 
cemetery on the Hogwarts grounds.  And maybe we don't have to dig 
under Ugg's grave, but Ogg's.  The Droobles wrappers again, folks.  
It all comes back to gum-wrappers. 

What if there is something about Ogg's grave that we need to see?  
If he were there when the chamber was opened the first time, and 
then when Hagrid was expelled he became Hagrid's Master and Hagrid 
was his apprentice. Hagid may have been an apprentice until Ogg 
died. 

We don't know when Ogg died or how. Could Tom Riddle who was still 
there for a couple more years have hid something under or in Ogg's 
grave? 

Here is an interesting tidbit from the Lexicon:
---
Ogg 
Gamekeeper at Hogwarts during Molly Weasley's era, probably the man 
who held the job before Hagrid. Molly seemed to be rather fond of 
him (GF31). 
Ogg's name has interesting associations from both the bible and 
British folklore. In the bible, Ogg, King of the Bashan, tried to 
deter the Israelites from conquering the promised land; Ogg has 
become a name for giant in the Hebrew language. Ogg may also be a 
reference to the legendary British giants Gog and Magog who guarded 
the entrance to the royal palace. Their names also have their source 
in the bible. (--Brewer's Dict. and Lexicon reader Tomer Navot)
----

Note the reference to *guarding the royal palace*.  Anything to do 
with the HBP?  

As to anagrams for Droobles.  There is one with *Bode* and *Ogg's 
Tomb* but the rest of the leftover letters don't make any sense. 
Help.
