That's an angle that *I* certainly had never considered before. If we 
combine that with the fact that Harry et al are able to speak about 
GH in front of people who were certainly neither part of the secret 
nor told by PP.

An interesting notion, and certainly plausible. I offer this 
alternate explanation of why Voldie wanted to spare her: he wanted 
her to work for him. Now, hear me out here. He kills her husband and 
son as an intimidation tactic (to her, I mean, not wanting her to 
know about the prophecy), then intends to hold a threat of death over 
her head unless she does the tasks he sets her. Not as a real DE, but 
as a slave of sorts.

Charles, off to vote himself-and glad he's got several Libertarians 
to vote for, including a gubernatorial candidate!
