	This is a basic rule of pop fiction, courtesy of a course I took 
in scriptwriting: The villain must die in the last ditch.
	If your story is a multivolume serial, then you can't kill the bad 
guy till the whole thing's over, so Voldemort will be around (I 
predict) till about 10 pages from the end of Book 7. In fan fic he will 
be around forever.

*There's always something fishy about the DADA teacher*
*You can't apparate or disapparate on the Hogwarts grounds*
*Hagrid will exercise poor judgment*
*No spell can waken the dead*
*The bad guys, having all the info they need and all their plans in 
place, will inexplicably wait until the end of term to attack*
