Thanks!

Now, there's been some disagreement about this.  A British source of mine
told me that naff can mean either really bad *or* really cool, depending on
the context.  I meant it as cool here.

>Now for my questions... they're in chronological order of the story.
>1.  Is Justin gay?

Yes.

>2.  Is Harry named for his father?  If he is, could that show some sort of

Interesting.  I had thought that at some point in the books it was stated
that his middle name was James, but perhaps that's just my wacked-out
brain.

>3.  Harry says at one point that when James wasn't there to guide him, the

That was during a dream Harry had, I wouldn't assign too much meaning to it.

As has been said already, there is a mailing list for PoU.  I can post a
notice here if it would be helpful.

>5.  What happened to Sirius and Hagrid?  Did they die of old age, or

Sirius isn't dead.  Hagrid was killed by Voldemort.

Wow!  That's a lot!
