You make a good point, as usual. It would be kind of interesting to see
a child as the villian; seemingly friendly, sort of like the Creevy boy,
then eventually showing his true intent to come after Harry. No idea on
the HBP, also, although my bet (and I am not usually successful at
betting) is on Godric Grif.
