Diego:
Reading this mail made wonder about a couple of comments of DD about
the IC, both of them during his visit to Harry on PD4:
1) Before going to pay a visit to Slughorn, he said, (refering to
Harry baggage):
"We do not want to be encumbered by these just now," he said, pulling
out his wand
again. "I shall send them to the Burrow to await us there. However, I
would like you to
bring your Invisibility Cloak . . . just in case."

2) Before going away (after the visit to , he gave some advice to
Harry, including:
"Firstly, I wish you to keep your Invisibility Cloak with you at all
times from this
moment onward. Even within Hogwarts itself. Just in case, you understand me?"

(Advice which of course he wouldn't follow, as usual. He had to go for
the cloack before
going on the Hoarcrux hunt.)

Now that I think about both sentences, I don't really understand WHY
he had to say
 those things.
