Parting of the Ways, SHIPPING Fleur & Bill

Just caught up with all the mails that had arrived during the weekend 
(I simply have to get me a PC at home) and all the interesting 
theories about book 5 etc.

Dumbledore: I agree with everybody that he won't be able to be 
headmaster of Howarts any longer, at least not in the way he has been 
so far. The question is: If Fudge (who IMO will not play a very 
sympathetic part in OoP) wants to hush it all up, where is his 
"official" argument for removing him as a headmaster? Just think what 
he would have to tell the Daily Prophet! Fudge and Dumbledore could 
of course come to an agreement as for D. to retire for age or health 
reasons, but I somehow doubt that, given the way they have separated 
at the end of GoF.
If Dumbledore retired because he himself decided it would be better 
for the school, who is going to take his place? Snape? (Remember 
Draco telling him in CoS that he would certainly get his father's 
vote- which means the rest of the school governors' too?) That would 
be interesting insofar as Voldemort would think to have an ally as 
headmaster of Hogwarts, whereas Snape in reality is still a double 
agent (hopefully!!!), able to work agianst V. and to protect Harry.
Or should it be Moody? Anyway, I#d rather exclude McGonagall, who is 
simply the classical Deputy.

Anyway, how's the situtation at Hogwarts going to develop? There are 
parents that clearly stand on V.'s side (Crabbe, Goyle, malfoy and 
perhaps others), others who are as clearly on Dumbly's side (Weasleys 
and a lot of others), but what about the Muggle- borns and the 
undecided? I somehow feel that life at Hogwarts is not going to be 
very pleasant, as the gap between pro and contra V. will divide not 
only Slytherin from the other houses, but also run through the single 
houses. Maybe the V.-followers are all going to Durmstrang?

What do you think of a possible romance coming up between Fleur, who 
said she was going to return to improve her language skills, and Bill 
whom she had eyed with great interest not minding he had a ponytail 
and an earring with a fang? They would make a nice couple.
Or is Snape going to develop a crush on her? I would like to see 
Snape falling in love, maybe that would make him mend his ways- 
imagine him, all happy and radiant, having his hair washed and pulled 
back into a ponytail, telling Neville "Now, now, don't cry, no 
problem if you have melted your tenth cauldron, I'll get you a new 
one. (Strokes Trevor fondly) And now, everybody, let's try out that 
love potion, I want you all to share my happy feelings!"

No howlers for that one, please, just think it's monday morning and 
I've got up early!!!
