JKR seems to put a lot of emphasis on hands, especially in OotP. Could long fingers be a sign of magical power?
Dumbledore:
"Dumbledore sat down, put the tips of his long fingers together...."
Snape
"tracing his mouth with one long, thin finger..."
Voldemort
"His hands were large, like pale spiders... long white fingers"
"unnaturally long fingered hands"
Snape, Voldemort, and Dumbledore are all powerful wizards
Umbridge
"her short, stubby, be-ringed fingers..."
Umbridge seems to be just short of a squib (the only time we ever see her do magic is to vanish Fred and George's fireworks... which obviously was unsuccessful!"
Has anyone noticed any references to Harry, Ron, or Hermione's hands?
