Ginger:
Hmm, when was this vow made, Neil?  I would assume it was made 
*beofre* the release of HBP?

So, if you knew about this particular plot devise *in advance* we 
must, in the spirit of a spoiler-free tomorrow, find out how you came 
into possession of this tidbit.

Possibilities:
1)  Neil had an advance copy.
    a)  Neil works for/ has access to the publisher.
    b)  Neil is the publisher.
    
2)  Neil knew of the spell from other sources.
    a)  Neil is a wizard.
    b)  Neil is a squib.

3)  Neil has infiltrated JKR's life.
    a)  Neil has an invisibility cloak and lurks about when JKR is 
out.
    b)  Neil is a Legilimance and has seen the secrets of JKR's mind.
    c)  Neil is JKR, in which case I must say, Neil, that I saw your 
interview with Katie Couric and you look fabulous for just having had 
a baby.

Whereas Neil has shown that he is privy to the secrets of the 
Potterverse, I make the motion that anything Neil says in the future 
be considered a spoiler, and that he be condemned to use spoiler 
space on all his posts until after the release of Book 7.

All in favour?

Ginger, wondering who the binder was in this matter.
