Hey talking of clever little word play-y-thingys, there's a thread on MuggleNet called 'All the Little Things' or something like that, where they've pulled out all the 'little' clues that readers reckon showed us that Sirius was gonna die. I've posted this like twice before so sorry if you've read it before but I really like it. My favourite was this one:

When the trio went to St Mungos they passed a ward that had a sign on it which reads:
Creature Induced Injuries
Dangerous
Dai Llewellyn Ward
Serious Bites

The first word from every line reads ....
Which means 'Kreature dangerous. Die Sirius'

This is probably total rubbish of course but the fact that some reader actually found thgi sis incredible!!

This topic on MuggleNets is worth a read- v. funny! But maybe Jo likes to out smart us with these tid bits of clues so 'Droobles Best Blowing Gum'...???
