I wonder how fanfic fans, shippers in particular, will feel when 
Books 5, 6 and 7 come out and don't conform to their anticipations? 
There have been some messages previously about what JKR "owes" the 
readers in terms of following up on foreshadowing etc. But it seems 
like some of these expectations are being permaturely fanned by 
fanfic?
