Carol:
So even if Dumbledore (who, of course, was away from 
the school because Lucius Malfoy had bullied the Board 
of Governors) didn't arrange the spell that caused the 
sword to be concealed in--or come out of--the Sorting 
Hat, he seems to have known about it. Otherwise,it would 
have been pointless to tell Fawkes to take the Sorting 
Hat with him when he responded to Harry's defense of 
Dumbledore. ("You must have shown me real loyalty down 
in the Chamber, Harry. Nothing but that could have 
brought Fawkes to you," 332.)

Tiffany Asks:
What ever happened to the Board of Governors? I don't 
recall them being mentioned in any of the other books. 
I wonder what happened to them when Voldie was taking 
over Hogwarts. I can guess that they were "bullied" 
like the rest of the WW. Just a question I had while 
reading your interesting post on Gryffidors sword.
