DRIBBLE SHADOWS addendum -- FAQ Poll Spoiler

I originally presented in 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/128717 
the DRIBBLE SHADOWS theory, which argues that Snape, Hagrid & DD 
worked to create an ointment, made in part from dragon's blood, to 
serve as an additional protection for Harry, and that it was applied 
during the missing 24 hours after the Godric's Hollow attack.  (Jen & 
Potioncat added additional features to the theory in that thread, 
especially TURBAN.)

I can't help but remark that JKR's FAQ poll response "reinforces" 
DRIBBLE SHADOWS (well, okay, maybe not THAT strong a word, but at 
least it didn't sink it!) by emphasizing that it was Lily's 
willingness to sacrifice herself which saved Harry at Godric's 
Hollow.  JKR remarks that if Voldy had gone after Neville, and Alice 
or Frank had sacrificed her/himself, it would have had the same 
effect of causing the curse to rebound.  

So this would, I think, support the notion that any additional 
protection (of the dragon-blood ointment variety, for instance :-)) 
would have reasonably been assumed to have been applied *after* GH -- 
such as during the missing 24 hours.  

Yippee for the DRIBBLE SHADOWS ship still casting about in the Bay!  
And, Neri, that Occam's Razor slice on my foot seems to be healing 
quite nicely now. ;-)
