Oh, you're the correspondent I so admired! Red Hen didn't mention a 
name in the essay. Nicely spotted.

I suppose the problems with using repetition to predict DH are that we 
don't know which book JKR's repeating, nor how accurately she will 
repeat. I don't think anything will correspond directly to the 
broomstick, because that would be too major and mechanical, but who 
knows? (I think minor things are more likely to correspond more 
directly to predecessors than the major; this creates a pattern but not 
absolute predictability.)

I won't say what I think of your theories in detail (although I agree 
with 1, part of 2, and 4); I'll write a whole post on my predictions, 
so you can laugh at what I get wrong come July. Speaking of which, 
commisserations on the timing of your Dumbledore-is-not-dead theory - 
Murphy's Law, eh?
