But, this is a discussion group. If we're all going to say, JKR wrote 
a book and I read it....there's no discussion. Anything should be up 
for grabs at this site---from, "If Sirius was an animal, what animal 
do you think he would be?" to "This part of the story doesn't work 
for me, and here's why..."

Some issues can be resolved--more or less---"I think Sirius would be 
a dog and here's the canon for it...."

Others are pretty much opinion. Sometimes it's good to toss an 
opinion out and see what others think. "I do/don't think it was a 
plot hole because..."

I personally think the details around the letter are a bit rough. So 
this part of the story doesn't work so well, (IMHO). I've stepped 
back and done two things. Like you, (I think) I've come up with a 
plot-worthy explanation of why/how the letter was there. I've also 
taken a look at what I think the author was doing, and I think I 
understand the hints....but overall, to my mind, this section wasn't 
as well written as other sections.

And that's what I choose to believe. I'm not trying to change 
anyone's mind about it, and I don't mind that others have a different 
opinion. I may or may not continue posting on this topic, depending 
on what other posts have to say.
