It's an obvious clue, I think, that these deaths are thematically 
linked. 

va32h:

But that's not my point. If Irma is Eileen in disguise, that is not a 
thematic link or similarity it's a surprise plot twist in the order 
of Scabbers/Pettigrew, Crouch/Moody, RAB/Regulus, Hermione & the Time 
Turner, Riddle/Voldemort, Aberforth/barman. 

JKR does not hint at her plot twists via thematic links and similar 
imagery, she uses *clues*. Which I've given numerous examples about 
previously.  

It's all moot anyway, since there are just a few days before the 
books comes out - but the point I have been trying to make from the 
beginning is that we have at least 6 examples of JKR giving clues 
about characters having secret identities - and none of the methods 
of clue dropping that she used in those examples match the alleged 
clues offered in the Pince/Prince theory, except the anagram.
