[HPFGU-OTChatter] Book 6 survey

[Mrs.) Lee Storm (God is the Healing Force]

| Luckdragon:
| I'm hoping this will give us a clear idea of how we are all feeling 
| about the happenings in book 6 and what we expect of book 7. Just 
| for fun:

[Lee]:
I'll play. :-)  Incidentally, does Luckdragon come from "The Never Ending
Story?" :-)

[LD]:
| 1) Is Dumbledore truly dead?

[Lee]:
His portrait's there, so yes, and not unexpected.

[LD]:
| 2) Do you believe Snape betrayed Dumbledore?

[Lee]:
It looks pretty bad for Snape, but I'm hoping for a scenario like in the
Jedi where, perhaps at the last moment, Snape will aquit himself. (One can
hope, can't one?)

[LD]:
| 3) Are Lupin & Tonks really a couple or is this a red herring?

[Lee]:
Yes they are, and I think they'll be good for each other.  They may not
appear much in Book 7, but we know that, at least, two good people have
found each other and can have some happiness.

[LD]:
| 4) Who loved Snape? Has Snape loved anyone?

[Lee]:
I think that DD loved Snape and, in his own way, Snape loved and admired DD.
I would also say that Snape must have loved or at least appreciated his
mother in order to keep and use the Prince name.  As far as the theories on
Snape and Lilly go, I just don't know...

[LD]:
| 5) Will any of the trio die?
[Lee]:
Nope.  There may be some serious injuries, but no death there.

[LD]:
| 6) Will Harry & Ginny reunite?

[Lee]:
Yes, and IMHO she's going to play some vital part in helping Harry.

[LD]:
| 7) Will any/all of the trio go back to Hogwarts for book 7?

[Lee]:
Not as students, perhaps, but an HP story without Hogwarts is not complete.
There are things he needs to find and DD's portrait to speak with.

[LD]:
| 8) Is Harry's scar a horcrux?

[Lee]:
Even though Harry ended up with some of Volde's abilities, he doesn't have
any of his real soul, so nope, no horcrux.

[LD]:
| 9) Why wasn't Fawkes seen in any of DD's memories?

[Lee]:
He was in the one that was DD's in his office with the emerging Voldemort.
Otherwise, he wasn't riding on DD's shoulder, so he wasn't there.

[LD]:
| 10) Which major characters are most likely to die in book 7?

[Lee]:
Probably Snape and Volde, probably whoever gets the DADA position, probably
one or more Order members.

[LD]:
| 11) Will DD's portrait be able to help Harry? 

[Lee]:
Yes, in some way, and possibly instruct Harry on how to use the Pensieve to
retrieve some vital clues.

[LD]:
| 12) What role will McGongall play in book 7?

[Lee]:
Head Mistress, hopefully support and protection; perhaps she's been told by
DD's portrait to help Harry.

[LD]:
| 13) Will Harry go back to the Dursley's as he is supposed to?

[Lee]:
Sure, and he'll have Ron and Hermione with him, and we'll finally learn
Petunia's secrets.

[LD]:
| 14) Will the DA or OOTP reform to help Harry?

[Lee]:
The order never disbanded, and they will always be involved in some way.
The DA will probably never fully return, but we know that Luna and Nev kept
their coins and, no doubt, they'll be back.

[LD]:
| 15) Will Wormtail repay his lifedebt?

[Lee]:
Well,it's a Wizard's debt, actually, and in some way he may, but
unwillingly.

[LD]:
| 16) Will the imprisoned Deatheaters escape from Azkaban?

[Lee]:
I don't think we've seen the last of Lucius, however, I do agree with the
idea that they may feel a little safer in Askaban considering Volde's wrath.

[LD]:
| 17) Will Kreature hinder or aid Harry if he appears in book 7?

[Lee]:
He will aid, albeit unwillingly.

[LD]:
| 18) What is your take on Harry having "his mothers eyes"?

[Lee]:
He has his mother's eyes; they are lovely eyes; they are probably expressive
eyes; he's probably going to have to learn how to keep them from being too
expressive. :-)

[Lee]:
| 19) Did Snape actually help LV at Godric's Hollow?

[Lee]:
I want to say no for now.

Cheers,

Lee :-)
