HI Folks of the wizarding world:

I had not thought of the potential for law suites when I originally 
posted my supposition. Actually , most of you understood that I only 
hoped we could influence her writing so that story lines and 
characters would develope the way each of us wants to see them 
mature. I was hoping that one of JKR's gang would take the seeds for 
one of the many ideas here and flesh it out in her future books. I 
personally want to see Snape mellow out in some kind of way, either 
by falling in love or by having a life changing event happen to him. 
I also want to see Hermione and Ron get married. I would like to see 
the trio of H/R/H become one of the most powerful aurores in 
wizarding history , along the lines of that old theme "the power of 
three". Neville needs to be more developed, and I want more 
information on why he is the way he is ( I personally think he is the 
victim of a memory charm), with what I suspect are unrealized and 
under developed wizarding abilities. I think Dumbledore will be the 
beloved character to die, maybe not until book 7. Sirius will 
eventually be vindicated, and he and Harry will form a closer 
surrogate father/son relationship. The Dursleys will accept Harry, 
eventually, the way he is, and assist him in some way in defeating 
the almighty "V". These are the things I would like to see happen in 
the series. 

My question now is just when does a suggestion of a future idea or 
plot become strictly mine? There is only so much you can do with 
these particular characters and the theme of "good versus evil" is as 
old as time. Not to mention that , as far as I can tell, just about 
every idea or possible character development has already been 
discussed in this particular group. How would you prove that JKR 
stole an idea from here?I have no talent for writing and it would 
never occur to me to sue someone when they used one of my "half baked 
suggestions" in a book. On the contrary, I think I would be 
incredibly flattered. Or pat myself on the back for being intuitive 
enough to guess where the plot lines and characters are going, never 
suspecting that I might have been the seed of inspiration :-)

Just my opinions and you know what they say about 
opinions ......lololol.
