Kaylee Tonks-Lupin here answering her Captain's call! 
 
 
Kaylee Tonks-Lupin is strolling along the beach of Theory Bay, when she  sees 
Brothergib standing on the shore. He looks rather lost. She walks up to  
Brothergib and politely asks, "May I help you?" He nods.

Kaylee smiles. "Why, I believe I hear my Captain calling!" Indeed,  Susan's 
voice can be clearly heard: 


SSSusan:
Ahem.  Jen, Potioncat, Kaylee, other crewmates on the  DRIBBLE 
SHADOWS -- 'tis tooting our own horn time! ;-)  
 
Kaylee grins. "Come on, Brothergib! I'll show you the best idea I've seen  
yet!" She grabs Brothergib's hand and pulls him toward the DRIBBLE SHADOWS. When 
 they reach the deck, she lets Captain SSSusan explain further:
 
SSSusan:
IOW, time to 
resurrect our theory of what happened in the "missing 24  hours."   

Some of us believe that DD may have used that time  to "shore up" the 
protections on Harry, not believing Voldy to be fully gone  for all 
time.  It's my contention that DD, Hagrid & Snape worked  together to 
apply a protective potion/ointment containing dragon blood onto  baby 
Harry during those 24 hours.  

If you're interested, here's  where it starts, and there are several 
follow-ups &  responses:

Brothergib:

SSSusan:
I think that Sirius realized  something was wrong because he was 
supposed to have met up with PP, who did  not show.  In my version of 
things, Sirius dashed off to GH to see if  everything was alright and 
just *happened* upon the awful scene, as opposed  to having been 
officially informed about it by DD or someone  else.
 
Kaylee nods. "It makes a lot of sense," she says breathlessly, giving her  
Captain an almost worshipful look. "Rule number one: The captain is always  
right! Oh wait, that's Captain Amber's rule...well, it can be Captain Susan's  
too," she decides. "Anyway, Brothergib, Dragon's Resistance In Blood Bestows  
Life-saving Effects: Snape, 
Hagrid And Dumbledore's Ointment Was Supplement  is what it stands for. I 
know some people probably don't believe Snape would  make the ointment 
after...after HBP," she admits, lowering her eyes for a moment  of silence. "But I 
believe there's still the issue of why Snape was trusted by  Dumbledore. That all 
fits in here. And..." Kaylee lowered her voice. "Here. I'll  need the relevant 
canon in HBP...bad me, I know, not having the book on hand..."  Kaylee 
blushed. "Brothergib, Captain Sue, perhaps Jen, Potioncat...someone?" she  begs. "I 
know that Draughts of the Living Death ought to be important.  I'm sure Snape 
brewed one for Dumbledore. He had to  have." She has a wild, almost hysterical 
look in her eyes. "Snape can't be  evil! He just can't! Dumbledore isn't 
dead!" 
She throws herself into the sand and beats her fists on  her beach towel, 
howling in pain, anger, and denial. Kaylee knew she'd  gotten way off topic, but 
it had to be said.
 
~Kaylee Tonks-Lupin, apologizing profusely to the Elves 


Siriusly Snapey Susan, cap'n of the not especially sea-worthy but  
still floatin', I think, DRIBBLE SHADOWS
