Potioncat:
Another thought about the significance of the brothers. There is a huge
section of HP fans who have no idea that the barman is Aberforth
Dumbledore. Harry doesn't know. I don't think anything in canon tells
us this. I'm sure there's a smaller, but still significant number of
fans who don't particularly remember that Sirius's brother was named
Regulus.


kchuplis:

You know *I* kept wondering why everyone kept referring to the barman as
Aberforth and I read the book at least a couple of times. I'm on it again
and the other night read the meeting section and saw the one little blurb
where Harry thinks he looks vaguely familiar. I guess put that together with
the fact we know Albus goes there for mead off and on and that is the
"cannon" that the barman is Aberforth. Not real convincing but I can see why
people think that now.
