I've tried searching but I just cannot find it. A while back, pippin was talking about 
ESE!Lupin and I got the impression that some people believe there was another spy 
besides Wormtail. What I've never been able to figure out from posts is where does 
that idea come from? I apologize if it has been discussed but I just couldn't find it.

SFP (self fullfilling prophecies)

The other night I was thinking and it occurred to me that this is really a recurring 
theme in the books. Of course, there is The Prophecy, which LV made self fulfilling. 
There is the Patronus by the lake. I consider this a kind of self fulfilled prophecy as 
Harry basically causes himself both to be there and to realize he'd already done the 
patronus so he knows he can. (Now, I'm really mad I didn't write this down the other 
night because I know I thought of a third one but my little brain can't remember it 
right now). What I was wondering is can you guys think of other SFP in the books. I 
really think there are more, but I'm really brain dead right now. I think this is an 
important running motif. It may give us clues for Book 7.
