Finwitch:
There must indeed be something. After all, it has been established
that number seven has magical qualities. Seven years of Hogwarts etc.
Other important numbers that might come up: 3. I doubt that 3 tasks is
a co-incidence in GoF.
You know, approximate number of days in a moon (as opposed to a month,
a moon is the REAL cycle of the moon.) is 28 - also, four times seven.
I'd say that lycanthropy, for example, happens to follow a lunaric
cycle (transformation always on full moon) but is not *really* linked
to moon per se, only numerically. I really have only the Boggart-moon
to support this, but I just thought: what would happen if Lupin
decided to become an astronaut and visit the Moon? Could he escape his
lycanthropy by space-travelling (some magical means) so far that
Moon-light or Moon-gravity or Moon-whatever can't reach him? For some
reason I doubt that space-travel would have any influence.
