Dumbledore's dead love. I'm sorry but it's true. As I've said before, I don't think our Jo would mess about with death and greiving 'cause it's personal with her -her mum and all.

Still haven't resolved the 'why are those lines in the US edition' thingo. I reckon it was an oversight by US editors. I think they were supposed to take them out because they are too confusing NOT too telling. If they were giving info. away about Dumby, Aberforth, the Orders' past doings etc, the whole world, not just America, would have got them.

There are a few 'time turner' threads on this site if people wanna carry on that line on inquiry. It messes with my head too much to partake of myself. Still, the Dep of Mysteries HAVE got a whole cabinet of the things. They have obviously played with time a fair bit but I don't think the Order or Dumby has -unnatural.

GWR: Ta for the heads-up on the Aberforth is Dumby's brother. We all had our suspicions about that but I never got that smelly clue.
