Carol earlier:

> I, on the contrary, think that it's perfectly reasonable that
information found only in the restricted section accesible only to a
very few people, most of whom would not be interested in committing
murder so that souls would be anchored to the earth, and then
accessible to nobbody would be generally known, and the few people,
such as Caractacus Burke or Horace Slughorn, who know such things (but
don't act on them) keep the knowledge to themselves.

Carol: I left out an important "not" here. Rewording for intelligibility:

I, on the contrary, think that it's perfectly reasonable that
information at first found only in the restricted section of the
library and consequently accessible only to a very few people (most of
whom would not be interested in committing murder and encasing a part
of their split soul in an object so that their souls could be anchored
to the earth), and later accessible to *nobody* because DD was keeping
the books on the subject hidden in his office would *not* be generally
known. It's common sense. And it's also reasonable to think that the
few people, such as Horace Slughorn and possibly Caractacus Burke, who
know such things (but don't act on them) are likely to keep the
knowledge to themselves (as Slughorn canonically does).

Carol, hoping that this edited version is more intelligible but tired
of this thread and wanting to talk about the books as they're written,
not some hypothetical "better" plot
