As much as I LOVED the book ... I was a little disappointed with Dumbledore's 
"tell you everything" speech.  <sigh> JKR made this out to be the BIG thing 
we all don't know, but ... well, did anyone think book 7 would end with Harry 
on the sidelines? It just always seemed a given to me that Harry would be the 
one who'd defeat Voldemort at the end of book 7, so knowing that that is his 
destiny wasn't the mindblowing shock some other things were.

Like Siruis dying.

OH. MY. GOD.

Granted, the writing was on the walls, so to speak, throughout the book, but 
Sirius was <sniff> my favorite character. No wonder she cried when she wrote 
it!  I cried  for the rest of the book!

And as for Petunia, I never gave much credit to the Squib!Petunia theories, 
but now it sure seems like she's got a bit of a secret she's hiding from 
Vernon...  

I think I need to go read the book again...
