firefly:
I know what you mean! Whenever I find a train of thought that relies
on assumptions concerning ANYTHING in JKR books I feel a shock of
danger run up my spine! "Warning! She could be messing with your
head, don't be too sure of anything! Tread carefully!" Still, it's in
our nature, and she seems to have provided the clues, to try to weed
out the truth of the situation if we look hard enough, think
logically enough... and get lucky!
