You see, with books 1 and 2, I'm not entirely convinced yet that the "full master outline" was written.  Every time Harry tries to convince me that they are now obviously part of this overarching plot by nemesis/bc, it instantly reminds me of the deluminator from the HP series.  Sure, it was always meant to also have the ability to help Ron find his friends when teleporting and that wasn't a tacked on power that JKR came up with while flipping through the first book and writing the seventh.

JB might convince me by the end that 3I and hexenbelts fit in somewhere, but I still don't quite see it, unless we find something that conveys that there were hundreds of these little things going on all over.
