My apologies too.

I catched a cold and later a writing fever, so I haven't keep up (though that 
should be solved in a couple of days), but I had one detail related to this 
in my list of questions. It is not canon based, or pretty doubtable canon, 
since it comes from cover art, but still.

The back cover to HBP -  (bloomsbury, hardback)

depicts a vow. Better seen in the actual book than online. I really have a 
hard time matching those two arms and hands with Cissy and Sevvie, but not 
with DD's 'rotten' hand (the fingers are like DD's on the cover) and Snape's 
skin. I though the clearer arm could belong to one of the children, or to a 
slender man, but not to Cissy.
