The part where Ron is trying to come up with all the reasons why Moody 
might not really be dead is surely a nod to those fans who tried so 
valiantly to prove that Sirius wasn't really dead or Dumbledore wasn't 
really dead. 

I also enjoyed Aberforth's commentary on his brother - nice job he gave 
you eh? Something easy, that a bunch of teenagers could do on summer 
holiday. I think Aberforth functions in this book much as Bella did in 
the Spinner's End chapter of HBP. Asking the questions the reader is 
asking.
