Alla:

Thanks, Maria. I find this bit of news the indication that JKR can 
still surprise me even after reading all the theories on book & and 
certainly done a fair bit of speculation myself.

Why? Because I certainly did not think of this one as question with 
crucial answer.

I mean, she already flat out denied the possibility of Dumbledore 
being Harry's grandfather, or other relative, right?

One would think that if this was true, the answer indeed could have 
been crucial, since James would have leave cloak with family member.


Why else it can be crucial? Ooooo, could the answer be that Snape who 
was there after all, took the cloak with him and brought to 
Dumbledore.

Speculating, you know, but have no idea why this can be important.

Alla.
