Renee:
Then this is probably not going to help: If DD died at the end of
Harry's sixth year, 1996 ought to be 1997.  


Yes, Renee, I caught that too, but I just can't keep up with all of her mistakes in time to send one e-mail to the list.  It is absolutely nuts.  If I was that bad in math (and I probably am close) and was writing a book that depended upon mathematical formulas, birthdates, etc., I would have at least one person close to me who was very, very good at math, double and triple checking everything I wrote.  Instead, JKR comes up with lines like this: "There are three kinds of people in this world. Those who can count, and those who can't." to excuse her lack of interest in keeping it all correct.
