Goddlefrood:

My apologies for not knowing Klingon, or is it outta Star Wars 
(Jabba's language perhaps - oh the memory!). Not a horse myself, 
so can't help you.

Goddlefrood:

Yeah, JKR sticks to the book line in interviews pretty well. The 
story really wouldn't hold too much water. It is odd, isn't it?

Thanks for the input, but I won't be revisibg my theory too much 
anytime soon.

Goddlefrood:

Like we didn't know where that was from.

I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death 
your right to say it!
