I had not considered and missed completely the vampire connection. Yes, Snape is still an asshole. Wonder how Draco will fare in all of this, I think he is toast too, from Voldemort. Snape has no other duty to protect him, as far as I know, with regard to the unbreakable vow. He did what he was supposed to do (and I believe Dumbledore knew it as well) so now that he got Draco out of Hogwarts, obligations in that respect are done.

I'll be very sad if Molly bites it. I'm also wondering if Petunia and the rest of the Dursleys, but Petunia in particular, have anything significant to contribute when Harry returns to Privet Drive for book 7.

So many questions........and most of mine, so trivial

Here's that I got to read:

http://www.smh.com.au/news/books/two...174172150.html

The parts that interest me are:

...J.K. Rowling has revealed that at least two characters will die in the seventh and final instalment.....

..."The final chapter is hidden away, although it's now changed very slightly,"..... ..."One character got a reprieve, but I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die."

..."I've never been tempted to kill him (Harry) off before the end of book seven,....

"I can completely understand, however, the mentality of an author who thinks 'Well, I'm going to kill them off because that means there can be no non-author-written sequels ... so it will end with me, and after I'm dead and gone they won't be able to bring back the character'."

That leads me to think that:

• Voldemort will definately die (evil is NOT allowed to triumph in childrens literature... for the most part)
• Harry may very well die to protect the name, as she mentions. (I can just imagine "Harry Potter and the Ingrown Toenail" or such)
• one or both of the rest of the terrible trio (ie Won won and hermeineonie) will also perish (maybe)
• Oh, and Umbridge really DOES need to die. Snape too, if he IS really evil.
