* EmptyPilesOfClothing: In the 1903 version, [[spoiler:all that's left of Queen Tera after the resurrection attempt fails is the clothes she was wearing. The apparent intention is that her body was destroyed, preventing further attempts, though other interpretations have been suggested]]. In the 1912 version, [[spoiler:her body is reduced to a less ambiguous pile of dust, clothes and all]].

Just think of how the world could be improved by having access to a learned person from centuries past who knows many things now forgotten! Don't think too hard about the possibility that she might be, for instance, a self-centred murderer who will stop at nothing to achieve her own goals... [[spoiler:The resurrection fails in both versions, so it's never settled whether Trelawney's faith in Tera's goodwill was justified.]]
