Geoff:
Yes, you have made that crystal clear on a number of occasions and I 
think I have also made it clear that I am diametrically opposed to you 
as to the outcome I desire.

In my opinion and that of many others on the group, killing Harry would 
be a worst possible scenario.

It would send a lot of mixed messages to young people who have read 
the books and, on a very personal level, I see so much of myself as a 
teenager in Harry that it would be like a family loss to me.

I'm sticking with the IWHTLC (I want Harry to live club) until or unless 
JKR proves me wrong.

And if she does something like that, I shall perform an Unforgiveable 
on her- I shall hex her hot chocolate, so there.
