story would be relevent as I have stated if one is to remain true to
the theme. Voldemort and his Death Eaters would make it a point to go
after Harry's friends.

Carol responds:

Seriously, Steve, you should read the books! You'd find the answers to
your concerns. I suggest particularly chapters 6 ("The Ghoul in
Pajamas"), 8 ("The Wedding"), 9 ("A Place to Hide"), 17 ("Bathilda's
Secret"), 22 ("The Deathly Hallows"), and 26 ("Gringotts") in DH, all
of which would give you insights into the, er, relationship between
the DEs and Harry's friends. I should also mention chapter 20
("Xenophilius Lovegood"), which relates to Luna, and chapter  28 ("The
Missing Mirror"), which relates to Neville and his friends. (Dean,
thought to be a Muggle-born, is in there somewhere, too.)

Just because certain characters survive (as you've apparently learned
through spoilers) doesn't mean that the DEs didn't go after them--or,
if they didn't, that there was no reason for their not doing so. And,
of course, not all the characters survive. (A lot of us, including me,
lost favorite characters to the merciless will of JKR.)

As for Voldemort himself, he has other concerns, of which Harry is
painfully aware. And, naturally, he commits plenty of murders along
the way.

Carol, who would be going crazy with anticipation now if she knew HP
only from the films when everyone else on the list had read the books!
(Actually, I'd be reading the books and avoiding spoilers like the
plague, but that's just me.)

Happy New Year to all!
