Origin Abbreviations
+ - This indicates additional work on the theory, or someone who's heavily influenced my own ideas
Multi - The idea comes from multiple sources.
Unkw - The origin is unknown
JD - Jason Drake, that's me
Bob - Bob Rozak
S2006 - Ann, posting on Scribbulus as Snitch2006
Ran - Rannaro (as she is known on HPANA)
st_ - stumbleine_, from HPANA.
vau & wd - vaudree and Weasle Diva, from HPANA
HPS - HP Super Sleuths
Mr27 - JmsMr27, from the Mugglenet Forums (cosforums)
Ravenclaw's Artifact - Hairy Pooter (on HPANA) enlightened me on the wand, although the theory may have multiple origins. The case for the Mirror of Erised was made here by Degamo. The castle-as-Horcrux seems to have multiple origins. I made a case for it here. The idea of Pettigrew's hand as Pettigrew's Horcrux is discussed in that same thread.
Irma Pince/Eileen Prince - This has multiple origins, I believe. But both PAM2002 (posting on Scribbulus) and myself have come up with very original evidence.
DL - Daniel Locke (known on HPANA as 'Kingsley is the King')
WW - Several folks on the Wizarding War thread (HPANA's "Seventh Heaven" forum): Marie Ravenclaw, halfbloodprince, & JustHarry.
