Godric's Hollow is gonna be very important as is Snape and the whole
thing with Harry's eyes! She says Snape could still turn out to be
either bad or good but she's not telling us which. The really big
death comes in book five.

I hope Snape turns out good, but is still a creep. I think Arabella
Figg ~is~ Mrs. Figg, not a relative. A squib would be less
conspicuous in the muggle world, but she can easily get word to
Dumble. As long as Vold. was not a threat, all she had to do was
keep watch. He's coming back now, so Dumble sent for her, needs to
get word to her.
Okay, I think JKR confirming that G's Hollow is important, really
convinces me that Harry's Gryffindor's descedant. All the hints,
James and Lily living in G's H, Harry's wand making the red and gold
sparks, Harry pulling Gryff's sword out of the sorting hat and what
Dumble tells Harry afterward, the sorting hat putting Harry in Gryff--
when Harry thinks to the hat he doesn't want to be in Slyth the hat
says "better be Gryffindor" why not one of the other houses? (Okay,
I know I'm reaching <g>). Now, I know there's a popular theory that
Lily has Slyth blood, but why not James? Does everybody feel that
the many times JKR's mentioned how much Harry, Tom Riddle, and James
all resemble each other is just a red herring? I just can't let this
go. Couldn't Lily be descended from Gryff? Maybe she turned up on
Petunia's parents doorstep the way Harry ended up with the Dursleys.
Petunia's parents raised her as their own, and Petunia never knew; or
maybe she did. Maybe Godric Gryffindor has emerald green eyes.
Everyone just assumed Lily was muggle-born. Couldn't Harry be
descended from both Slyth and Gryff? It was Gryff and Slyth who had
the big blow out all those years ago; Harry being descended from both
would be a great twist.
Okay, tell me what you all think...
