  I joined the group a few days ago and have nearly gone blind perusing 
  the archives.  Here are some thoughts/comments.  Forgive me if they 
  have been discussed.

Welcome aboard! I'm actually new myself, and know exactly what you mean. Fortunately, I took someone's advice seriously, and opened a new mail account on hotmail solely for egroup messages.
     3.  I think Dumbledore will turn out to be Harry's Grandfather.

I saw a transcript of an interview done with Rolling, and she said that the whole I-am-your-father/mother/sister/aunt thing is a little too star-wars for her. So, no, I don't think Dumbledore is Harry's relative. Anyway, he's too old to be his grandfather. Could be his great-great-great-grandfather maybe.
     4.  Ron will marry Hermione and Harry will marry Ginny Weasley.

I have to agree with you on that. I even wrote a fic (not under romance) that includes some references to these two couples. 


     5.  The descriptions of relationships of house elves to their 
  masters sometimes sounds uncomfortably erotic.  "She bound him to her 
  with her own special brand of magic".  Ewww. 

This is so funny, I actually saw a PG fic describing Dobby giving Harry a. Er. very good time. I think it was called 'good morning' or something like that.

Thanks, Yael

hats,  padded  shoulders, narrow  waists and pointed
shoes and gave its followers the appearance of being
very well-dressed nails."
