I'm ruining the Threading by combining posts, here's the first one:

IIRC around the time of the Blue Peter interview, one or a few people 
said something about now having a date certain for when James and 
Lily were in school. I want to know about that and haven't been able 
to think of a unique enough word to search the egroup archive 
with.

Here's the second one:

Personally, I would be more surprised if Harry survives the series 
than if he dies in order to destroy Voldemort. Someone evil as 
powerful as V is presented to be, and someone destined to destroy the 
evil one, it fits the archetypes that the hero has to die to kill the 
villain. It also settles ALL arguments about what would H do in his 
adult life and will JKR write more books about him.

Here's the third one:

MMMfanfic argued that Dumbledore couldn't expel student Snape for no 
reason, a secret reason, or a petty reason because expulsion from 
Muggle schools requires something resembling due process. I think the 
Headmaster of Hogwarts has a great deal more arbitrary power than the 
Headmaster of a Muggle school, and can indeed expel students for 
petty reasons.
