Oh, ok. I was in the process of re-reading HBP in anticipation of DH. I 
didn't manage to get through it all. So I'm guessing that scene is 
towards the end. I'm at the part where Harry and Dumbledore are about 
to go to the cave.

valerie:
I also need to re-read DH slowly now so that I can absorb the details. 
The whole wand switching thing had my head spinning! I also didn't 
really see how Snape turned out to be a good guy. Yes, I know he loved 
Lily all along. But that didn't prevent him from hating Harry, did it? 
I think Harry was a reminder of Lily and James love- that she chose 
James over Snape. I recall the part where Snape is shocked that D is so 
cavalier about Harry having to die to rid the world of Voldemort. That 
was surprising. But I'm not sure how he protected Harry. Yes, he was 
double-agent to both sides. But doesn't he give Harry away in Chapter 
1?! I still think he is more 'dark' than 'light'. Hmmm...like I said I 
need to go read the book again.

As far as any other foreshadowing, I will have to watch PoA again.
But for now I am going to take the kids to see OotP again. :-)
