Mike:

Thanks, Carol, for that info. It opens a whole new vista of 
possibilities for me. Now I have another question. Where did you find 
this copyeditor mistake and are there more of them floating out there? 
Do we have a list somewhere or do you happen to know a website that 
has that info? Can the elves add something here? I'm sure I'm not the 
only one who would like to know whether some of their theories are 
based on silly mistakes in copywriting.

I have a later edition of GoF that has a corrected order of James and 
Lily's appearance in the Priori Incantatum scene, but I have other 
questions about things in canon that seem to be mistakes. For 
instance, did JKR ever say something about Lupin tying up Pettigrew in 
the Shrieking Shack? I mean, he *walks* out and after Lupin breaks 
free from the manacles, he grabs Lupin's dropped wand. So neither his 
arms nor legs were tied up, what was?
