Excellent point.  I loved Rebecca's sentence too - I'm not sure it *won't* 
be the actual last sentence.  I was certainly thinking along those lines.  
And what about this from Dumbledore: (COS 243, Brit)

"'I seem to remember telling you both that I would have to expel you if you 
broke any more school rules,' said Dumbledore.
Ron opened his mouth in horror.
'Which goes to show that the best of us must sometimes eat our words..."

My other fave is the "Fat Lady" entry - sorry I can't give the credit where 
it's due, but 50 points to that House ;)
