"Harry had refreshed the Transfigurations he was maintaining, both the tiny jewel in the ring on his hand and the other one."

Hermione, probably.

The play on words with the title of the chapter (Riddles and Answers) and the final reveal was neat. Harry might be a copy of Quirrell!mort who's had his memory erased (rememberall,) and good ol' Quirrell!mort needs Harry to get the stone because...?

I'm still really curious how the Deathly Hallows are going to tie into this.

Also, where the hell is Cedric Diggory? Will it be another situation like what happened with the troll? The spare gets killed, or Harry is the spare, and is found defective?

Isn't the whole shtick with the Mirror that it will only give the stone to someone who doesn't want to use it?

Doesn't Harry want to defeat Death more than anyone? And is likely hauling around a transfigured Hermione to do just that?

Is Harry just the backup ritual in case they can't find the Stone?

Or, is it all just a Harry and Hermione plot to get the Stone to mass produce immortality for all?
