Pippin:
Erm, not exactly. If you're interested in the story of HPFGU,
you can find it  here:
http://www.hpfgu.org.uk/faq/history.html

Mike Gray *is* responsible for the archive which eventually
became Quick Quotes Quill and then accio-quote. ::Bows
to Mike:: 
 
Which just goes to show you ::Pippin armwrestles this post
on topic:: that history, true or feigned, is a moving target,
and accounts which agree on all points have probably been
tampered with.

I think egg will make contact with fewer faces if we grant
JKR the benefit of the doubt as to what's a continuity error
and what's a clue until we've got Book Seven in our hot
little hands. I can remember when people insisted that 
The Hogs Head mentioned by Hagrid in PS/SS must be a 
mistaken reference to The Three Broomsticks. On the other 
hand, many of us were *sure* ::blushes:: that the wand 
order glitch was a clue.

Oh well, only a few more months to go.
