Hi!  This is my first post.  I have been searching this site for the 
last few days and you all have discussed just about everything I came 
to this site looking to discuss. I guess I am late!

In chapter 36 of GoF (in my book it is page 712) there is a sentence 
I am confused about:

Dumbledore says, "Time is short, and unless the few of us who know 
the truth do not stand united, there is no hope for any us."

Shouldn't it say, "Time is short, and IF the few of us who know the 
truth do not stand united, there is no hope for any us"  OR, "Time is 
short, and unless the few of us who know the truth STAND united, 
there is no hope for any us?"

Maybe I am just confused.  Does this say what I think it says?  Is it 
a misprint or error?  Has this been discussed? I hope that it is not 
a hint about Dumbledore's trustworthiness, b/c if he was really 
a "bad wizard," (which I don't think he is) I would have to stop 
reading the series.  That is about the only thing that would make me 
stop.

BTW, PoA is my favorite, then GoF.  I think I really enjoyed PoA b/c 
we became acquainted with more adults (Sirius, Lupin, and we learned 
more about James and Lily.)
