foreshadowing

[lifesaverholes at excite.com]

Hi everyone-

I just now joined this group after giving up on a search for HP 
sites that discuss clues smarter readers than I may have 
spotted that might indicate a Sirius Black kind of character twist.

For instance, does it mean anything that Peeves is introduced as 
some kind of annoyance that isn' t ''even really a ghost?''

Am I reading too much into all the throw-away lines indicating 
everyone in the castle -- except, apparently, Dumbledore -- feels 
Peeves should be extradited?

Since she's given us such an intricate and tightly spun plot, I just 
don't think J.K. Rowling would stoop to George Lucas' level and 
throw a Jar Jar Binks at us simply for comic relief.

And what about Lucious Malfoy? With him, isn't the 
foreshadowing quite clear that he has plotted all along to usurp 
Voldemort, and now must see The Newly Arisen as an unwanted 
and more powerful rival?

I'm kind of new to Net etiquette and I understand that I probably 
should have waited a while to get a feel for what kind of things 
are discussed here. But I wanted some answers, too.

Oh, and my apologies if this subject is tired and worn out.
