Wandered over here from hither and thither and this is a total non sequitur but you've just made me wonder about something:
Re-reading the scene where he's stumbling around in the woods, saying it's his fault and introducing his son who’s gotten "12 OWLS,"
Another kid who probably used a Time Turner! Both Bill and Percy got 12 Owls and Hermione would have been on course to take 12 OWLs had she kept Divination and Muggle Studies, for which she would have needed the Time Turner. So we've got 3 kids who likely used Time Turners for 3 years, unless Hogwarts changed the structure of classes when Hermione started her third year. And if those 4 students did it, I'd have to think a few ambitious Ravenclaws did it too.
Anyway, great essay. I especially like what you have to say about the Blacks. One of the reasons I hope R.A.B. is Regulus is because it makes the story of that family all the more interesting and tragic. Both brothers working for the same cause yet they each thought the other was working against them. Hmm, Sirius knew Regulus was a DE but did Regulus know Sirius worked for the Order?
