was not clear in my interest in the dusty bottle.  We are treated to 
a specific comparison in these two scenes. In one, Snape sends PP to 
*his*  wine cellar for a bottle of wine. It is described as dusty.  
In the next scene, DD, in a house *not his own*, conjures a bottle 
of mead which is  also described as dusty. Surely, not every bottle 
in Britain is dusty! I  am wondering if this is a clue that this is 
not actually Snape's true residence but rather an address used only 
when stuck with Peter or contacting other DE. I can see no other 
reason for her description of the darn dusty bottles.

I would think that she is just saying that the wine or mead is good, 
old, best stock sort of thing. Dusty also implies that the person 
serving it does not drink much and that this is a special occassion.

I never thought of the fact before that the 2 scenes where happening 
at the same time in different places. There might be something to 
that fact. Maybe we should compare what transpired in each place. Go 
back over both word for word and look very carefully. Are there any 
things there that might match up??  I don't have time to do that, 
but it is a suggestion for another detective to explore.
