I keep wondering about the sorting hat (another relic of Gryffindor, the sword isn't the only one); Lily Evans, whose past seems to be coming up now; and the reference to "Peverell" on Marvolo's ring. Has that name come up before?

AHA! The name you mention, Peverell, has been at the back of my mind...now I am wondering if "Peeves" is a nickname of sorts.

I'm glad I made myself go back through the thread and read more carefully. That's a GREAT theory you have, supercat, about DD having left a memory! I'd never thought of that.

My son just finished reading the book, now we're going to have a looong discussion!

Darn, I really liked the idea that Peeves was once named Peverell, and was somehow linked to the ring.

"Peeves isn't a ghost; he was never a living person. He is an indestructible spirit of chaos, and solid enough to unscrew chandeliers, throw walking sticks and, yes, chew gum." -- J.K. Rowling (JKR)
