This is a general comment about Lily's letter, about how Snape might have communicated to the Order in HP& OOTP, and about other such details...

As anyone can tell from my posts, I love discussing the details and the possibilities.  That's because the details of the Harry Potter books is one of the things I love about them.  JKR has woven a story across seven books using fine threads of story lines -- the details, the continuity, the foreshadowing, etc. all appeal to me.  Despite that, I'm OK not knowing.  Wondering doesn't mean I have to know...and life should have a little mystery to it...

The bottom line is the books (with only a few chapters as exceptions) are told from Harry's POV.  If he doesn't know the details, we won't know the details...

I wonder if he wonders as much as we wonder...
