The number 7 rune on JKR's website

While exploring some of what I think JKR maybe using as the basis 
for her books I came upon an interesting discovery.  I stopped 
reading and said "that's it!!"  That is the Rune symbol for the 
number 7 on her website!!  Now it is not 100% the same, but I think 
that she used the same picture that I saw and tweaked it just a 
bit.  I have seen this symbol before, but never like the one I saw 
in this picture.

It was a picture from ancient Egypt.  And the symbol was the Ankh.  
Now as I said, I have seen this symbol before and it just didn't 
register. But the way this picture was printed brings out different 
features of the item in a way that I had not seen it before.  All 
one has to do is to just round down the two sides and add a forth 
leg and *** presto*** like magic you have the symbol on JKR's  
website.

And what does the book say that the Ankh symbol represents?  It says 
that it is the ancient (remember ancient magic) symbol of life, the 
universe, and man. 

Now to speculate a bit. Perhaps the fact that there are 4 instead of 
3 appendages represent the 4 houses of Hogwarts.  I think that JKR 
said in an interview that she wanted the Houses to represent the 4 
directions. (I can't find the quote, but if anyone else can please 
direct me to it. Thanks.)

I think that JKR is using her own version of the Egyptian Ankh.  
(There must be some reason we kept hearing about Egypt in the other 
books.) I just intutively think that the Ankh symbol and what it 
represents is going to be somehow, with a bit of a twist of course, 
be important in book 7.
