Uhm, make sure that you write HPforGrownups and not HP4Grownups...you
probably already knew that, sorry, just making sure...<looks embarrassed>

> 1) Once and for all (yes or no) is Riddle/Voldemort the last
> remaining descendant of Slytherin.
>
> 2) Will Harry, Ron or Hermione become an animagus/animaga?

Harry won't.

> 3) Will Alastor Moody stay at Hogwarts as the DADA teacher?
>
> 4) Will Hagrid and Madame Maxine's romance flourish?
>
> 5) What did James and Lily do for a living?

Isn't it better to just wait and find out for those three? I mean, if we ask
everything, what's the point? Also, each one of those questions means that
there's less chance for a really good question to get through...of course,
this is from the girl who wants to ask what Remus Lupin's middle name is...

> 6) What houses were the Four Marauders in?
>
> 7) Why didn't Dobby or Winky go work for the Weasleys?
>
> 8) Will you ever have any gay characters?

I might be wrong, but I'm under the distinct impression that 'gay' is
considered derogatory. Can we word that as homosexual, instead?

> 9) Were Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Dursley the only Evans sisters?
> What were their parents names and what did they do?
>
> 10) Do all wizards/witches in England go to Hogwarts, or are their
> "lessor" schools for wizards?

I was under the impression she'd already said that it was the ONLY one.
Someone confirm this?

> 11) Who decides who gets the Order of Merlin?
>
> 12) Are any of the Hogwarts professors married or is being single
> a requirement?
>
> 13) Why does Dumbledore say he is holding a pair of socks in the
> mirror of Erised....
>
> 14) Why isn't Hermione in Ravenclaw?

Addtions:

- Are there any specific elements (e.g. strength of wizard/witch,
personality, etc.) which determine the Animagus form of a wizard or witch,
or can they choose their form?
- How old are Remus and Sirius?
- How old are the Weasleys?

Everyone else has posed all the interesting questions I want to know the
answers to, really...

And, a few somewhat less serious ones...<g>:

- Just *what* is a Mugwump, anyway?
- Will Norbert come back?
- Any possibilities of an adult chat?
- Do you ever get tired of fans asking you the same questions over and over
again?
