Just out of curiousity: did you read HBP in translation? To what 
language, if it's not a secret? The point is, RAB never called 
himself "HE" in the note, and it's impossible to even know if it was 
a man or a woman who wrote it, because in English there is just no 
difference. 

In many languages, however, there is a difference, so you can tell - 
that's why I thought you read a translation. For example, in Russian 
there is a difference between feminine and masculine in the past 
tenses, and you just know if it's a man or a woman. They translated 
the note into Russian as if RAB was a man, but it was risky - what if 
he turned out to be a woman :-)? After all, they gave Scabbers a 
feminine name and called him "she" all the time, and later it turned 
out Scabbers was a man, LOL!

You can answer off-list, if you prefer :-).
