the penguin considers:
I thought that was the point behind all the folderol about "almost
giving it away" in the first write of CoS. Add to that the admission
that there will be Stuff We Weren't Told and my Bloody Unfair meter
went ZING. A thought: if Harry has  done in this Housebox then dear
Tom is starting from two behind, not one, as when he attempted to use
Harry. He'll have to find another soul to horsecrack, won't he?
Besides trying to do Harry in, I mean, that's a given. Tom's a bit
obsessed with Harry. If Harry does in a few more, will there be a
whirlwind of desperate horkscrowing, or do they just blow away in the
wind and Tom is steadily diminished?
