I wish we knew what the "glitches" on the map were.

Presumably they are not glitches at all but accurate reports of "Spontaneous Duplication."

Perhaps not just that. Could be that some people show up with different names than their reported identities. Could be that no one shows up as the Defense Professor anymore - now that the Troll is dead.

True, though of those, Spontaneous Duplication is the most obvious if you look only at the map. The others all involve comparing the map to the territory.

Yes, but what exactly do the reports say? WHo is spontaneously duplicating?

Harry, Dumbledore, anyone else whose spimster wicket occasionally malfunctions.
