Alla:

Ugh, hate to leave in such a big chunk of quote, but need to clarify 
my previous words. No, I was not referring to the Dementors, I was 
referring to Graveyard. The way I understood what Hickengruendler 
said was that protection worked at Graveyard. Obviously I got 
confused and confused everybody else.
Sorry about that, but if Hickengruendler indeed meant that blood 
protection worked as well as it could at Graveyard, I would 
certainly like some clarification, because I don't see how or where 
during Graveyard scene the blood protection worked.

All that I saw is Harry's courage and the support of the souls ( or 
images) of Voldemort's victims.

Well said, in fact loved your whole post very much. Yep, WW is just 
as flawed and I always see it as a reflection of ours plus magic and 
whatever influence it can bring :)

Alla:

Actually, I am pretty sure that JKR said in one of the interviews 
that at least Fawkes belonged to DD not to school. ( Something about 
when Dippet was there, Fawkes was not). I don't think I dreamed it 
up :)

Heee, I also think that she squashed them for Harry, **not** for 
somebody else :)

Alla, who is so happy that Jen is posting regularly again and hopes 
the trend will continue ;)
