Goddlefrood:

What you bring is certainly evidence, and perhaps some may now 
get the distinction I made in my earlier. I assess evidence on 
a daily basis, but none of it constitutes proof. It can be 
persuasive, but it is not our place to assert matters that have 
not been *clearly* stated to be proof.

Having said this I doubt LV will ever confirm either way who he
was talking about in the graveyard, so, quite honetsly, it is
neither here nor there.

The main point is that assumptions, which I never make ;), just
extrapolations where available, such as "everyone agrees on x",
are always dangerous things.

There is other evidence in the graveyard scene that should not
be overlooked, but this part of who the three were probably quite 
safely can be, because it is no longer relevant for the way the 
story may develop ;). Unless Bagman's one of the three, but then 
as explained in a past life I think he was at the graveyard and
remains a Death Eater and will be back :>

If we all did agree on things this group wouldn't be such fun :)
