I can't help but believe there is some conspriracy to throw us all 
off. The first thing I said after seeing the movie my first time was 
"There was an awful lot of running around in the woods holding 
hands. I think it's gonna be H&H." JKR just loves to throw us off 
and she gives very obtuse clues, in the style of Dobby. No matter 
what the produces/film makers say, I think we've got surprises 
coming.
