Dungrollin:
Indeed, that was my first thought, but then I thought of the Lord's 
Prayer, and "hallowed be thy name", and thought hang on a minute...

Why does Hogwarts celebrate Halloween? Who exactly are the Hallows 
they are honouring? Could it perhaps be the founders? I wonder if 
the original point of the holiday was to forget about house rivalry? 
Perhaps the reason they used to celebrate it has been lost since the 
founders' split.

And that "deathly"? Like dead, but not. Are the founders ghosts? Or 
are they still alive, perhaps? 

Hmm...
