It's all "Remus and Tonks recruiting for the Order"-- which it looks
like they were doing in Hogsmead.  I wish she hadn't cut that-- more
Lupin scenes, and then the romance wouldn't have come from outer space!

It seems that the DA was originally explicitly a junior-league of the
Order-- there's a note "discovery of O of P-- Dumbledore takes the rap".

It was worth the 10 tries it took me to get the darn lightning bolt
right to read, "Snape goes ape because Harry can't do it" and "Snape
grudgingly approves-ish".  That whole storyline underwent a change--
originally Harry was skipping the Occ. lessons to do 'Order' meetings
(DA?), and seems to have started going only after the Snake attack
where (to quote from the outline):  "Now Vol is actively trying to get
Harry to D of P".  Then he was trying to block "increasingly vivid"
visions, then he improves in Occlumency-- "Harry starting to get it"--
then... we run out of paper!

Can anyone read the title of the Snape/Harry + Fa(?) column?  I can't
make out the last word... and WHAT does Ginny do on the wall in a
temper?  

Thanks Tonks, for the quick spot on the possiblye Gryffindor/Slytherin
hint to the plant-reviver!  For the Slytherins.. Snape and Draco
and... Nott?
