I hesitate to say that anything anywhere in the HP books is what it
seems ... and things that look pretty obvious are especially
suspicious. However, I rather wonder if the Peverell reference isn't
simply a geographical one. Peverell of the Peak, Sir Walter Scott's
novel, is set in (duh!) the Peak District, the really scenic, hilly
bits of Derbyshire, full of bleak, high moors and limestone crags and
caves. Good country for living unobserved in ... and good too for
prosperous landowners like the Riddles in days past.
I like the way the whole of the UK is included in the WW - the
Weasleys in the West Country, the four founders dotted about, London
and Scotland and the Dursley's Home County dormitory town, Longbottoms
in Lancashire and now the Peak District. Godric's Hollow is presumably
in Wales. Dare I hope for some future reference to Tyneside?
Deborah, happily geographical today
