I've come to the conclusion that the game (and Goblin editor) doesn't really use the granny2.dll to 'read' the whole GR2 file. It only uses it to get information when it needs it. This would explain why it can access the other texture coordinates and other color information contained in the verticies.

Yes, a(ny) file never has to be completely loaded. The beauty of pointers. Files generally start with some sort of TOC header to aid in this.
No, in that the game will bypass the granny library to get other data from GR2. That would be utterly idiotic. The game has to get the data in some way at some point and it definately uses Granny for it.
