Potioncat:
Oh, I'd forgotten about that. Why then, do you think, does Harry 
think of him as the barkeeper from the Hogs Head instead of as DD's 
brother? At DD's funeral Harry doesn't notice that DD's brother is 
there, but that the barkeeper is there. Of course, Harry isn't very 
good at remembering people.

I snipped the part about not knowing if Aberforth can read. It sounds 
just like something Fred and George would say. No, I'm not proposing 
DD and AD are really F and G...just thinking it's a brotherly thing 
to do.
