Lolita:

I agree with you - you have got to stop smoking suspicious 
substances :)

But I have a feeling that you yourself do not really believe in 
this ;) - other things notwithstanding, from a practical, i.e. legal, 
point of view, how would Rowling share her royalties with Doyle? 
Admittedly, the 1909. copyright law would not affect *him*... but 
still, you can't have your characters metamorph into another writer's 
characters and still claim them to be fully yours... Hmmm... 

While I am at it, a nice touch for this absolutely cuckoo theory 
would be the Not Really Dead and Employing a Time Turner to Jump Back 
a Century and Impersonate Maicroft Holmes!Regulus Black. Really 
plausible, eh?

Besides, is there any canon evidence as to McGonagall having a Time 
Turner? Just out of curiosity, of course...

Anyway, enjoy those silly cigarettes for me too, will you? :))
