Dobby-
Because he is this type of character, a good house elf with his own ideas, I don't see why Winkey should die though, she is more able to develope like someone could help her with her alcoholism and teach her some more new ideas, Hermione could do this...
BTW I don't know if elves are mortal, does JKR say something about it?

And why do you wish Cho dead when you don't want Hermione to get Harry?? Cho is a minor character, I don't think she is supposed to have a relationship with Harry.
(I still think Ron will get Hermione)

Dumbledore could influence the plot even as a ghost. There are as you say many implications of his near death so it might happen in book 5 already IMO.

Harry can't die before book 7, the story would collapse if he did.
Why should any teacher die other than Dumbledore, I don't see the point here.

PS - very OT
When trying to send back the message my OE asked wether I wanted to use Unicode or ordinary...I left it unicoded. I hope everybody can read it. I am sort of a font collector having stored about 200 in my computer and some more on disk.
I want this unicode font for my collection, Maya. I like the way it puts the quotation marks and other signs.
