I've been researching faery folklore recently. As it turns out, it's common among leprechauns and other faery folk to give gifts such as gold that later disappear. I learned this *after* reading HPIV, and it made me wonder how much Rowling knows about the subject. Perhaps it's just common knowledge in Britain, where much of the folklore originated.
