Marianne:

First of all, sorry for the non-trimming of the first post I sent.  I 
forgot.

Ok, I know I've written this somewhere on a HP list before, but I 
know a person that thought JKR took the easy way out and not killed 
Harry off in the end.  In fact more than a few people felt that way.

And yes, he would have been very amused at the riots and blood in the 
streets in reaction to the ending.

A question for Steve.  Considering the way you feel the need to argue 
with almost everything that is written, would you happen to be on a 
certain music list I'm on and your name happens to be Soren?

You write and argue just like him.
