I have noticed that many things that apprear in a particular HP novel
are later brought up again in another HP book. Many of the characters we
have met in GOF (including the foreign students) and the whole SPEW event,
could very well show up in later books. I find the JKR does not "forget"
about certain characters or events, that they do show up later on.

Harry did not learn anything new about his past in GOF - but I think
all the details about his past had been fleshed out in the earlier
three novels, the rest of the books will probably be about the fight
against Voldermort.

I do agree that at 700+ pages all it really came down to was a duel with
Voldermort and his return. But those 700+ pages were delightful! It's
not just about the plot, but about the characters and their daily lives
that are so interesting. It adds flavor.
