SSSusan:
Actually, Hannah, that comment about the new book answering us these 
things was made up.  The catalog company that listed those tidbits 
later admitted that Scholastic had actually never provided them with 
anyinformation about the contents of the new book.

Not that that means your theory couldn't prove out in the end....

SSSusan:
Well, I have thought of one possibility, GEO.  The U.S. cover shows 
Harry & DD looking at what appears to be a pensieve, and there is a 
lot of eery green light emanating from it and swirling around them.  
Green light makes me think immediately of one thing:  an AK.  Since 
a pensieve replays memories, I'd think it might be possible that the 
cover depiction *is* of a flashback of sorts, maybe even of the 
events of GH if DD has a reason to possess a memory of it.  Harry's 
gaining THAT information would certainly be significant enough to 
warrant a cover reference.
