> Good. She's going for realism. I'd be disappointed if it were one 
of those glossed-over series. Then again, I can't bear the thought of 
dear Remus dying, though I do see your point of him being somewhat 
peripheral. I'd miss Snape and Hermione as well.

Y'know, I hate the thought of dear Remus dying, and I would cry for 
hours if he did.  (I'm not attatched or anything...)  But I could see 
something happening with him.  If he does indeed come back in Book 5, 
as has been speculated in various places and perhaps confirmed, not 
sure there, he will play a larger role, I think.  He's one of those 
surragate father-figures in Harry's life, and I think as a person as 
well as a connection to his parents and Sirius, very important.  
Consider, perhaps, that dear Remus returns to help fight the good 
fight, as it were.  And he, as befitting such a gorgeously angst-
ridden character, dies fighting that fight.  Perhaps for Harry, 
perhaps someone else.  That would, I think, be feasible.  And 
beautifully angst-ridden.  (I'm an angst monger, what can I 
say...it's the fan-fic writer in me, I swear...)
