A big assumption here that *if* JKR does write an encyclopaedia of 
the Wizarding World that it would contain the facts and figures of 
Harry's world. That is to say, that all the minutiae and details that 
absorb us can be referred to as author intended.
As much as I have loved reading and even trying out a few theories of 
my own these are just interpretations around the facts (and long may 
they live!). However, I feel there are still outstanding little 
niggles we have concerning the world of Harry Potter. What things do 
it to you?
Mine for instance:

1. The gemstones in the hourglasses; we know the Houses are 
represented by the colours, red, blue and green have rubies, sapphire 
and emeralds Hufflepuffs are represented by yellow, so what's their 
gemstone?

2.Do all Wizard families send their children off from Kings Cross 
station? How do Muggleborns know how to get on to Platform 9, 3/4?

3. We know the history of the Bloody Baron, the Grey Lady and Nearly-
headless Nick, what about the Fat Friar?


I'm sure you have more. If you know the answers because they have 
been disclosed in interviews please LMK :) I've not had the chance to 
read all the JKR interviews (yet).
