Ginger:  Isn't his middle name Arcturus on JKR's family tree?  I mean 
the one she wrote, not the one on the wall.  Actually, I meant the 
Black Family tree written by JKR, not JKR's family tree itself.  
Although I guess they're all related in the WW anyway ;)

Anyway... I did a quick search and found the Wikipedia entry which 
says that Arcturus was the name given by JKR, but that some people 
believe it was Alphard.

Do we have actualy confirmation on this or was my source faulty?

Re: Rosemerta:
 note to Aussie:  Sorry for being so dense, but I finally figured out 
what you meant!  Thanks for setting me straight.  You are quite right.

The light bulb has gone on!  I see what you mean that Draco got the 
idea for imperiousing Rosemerta via the coin in mid-December from the 
library conversation.  This means, then, that he Imperioused her 
twice!  Once on the Hogsmead weekend where she gave the necklace to 
Katie, and later with the coin to send the mead to Sluggy.

Ginger nods.  Got it.  Need a lie down.  Maybe some nerve tonic.

Ginger, glad to have finally gotten her mind around that.
