Athena, the Greek Goddess of Wisdom and Victory looks at the requests
bestowed upon her by mortals and sees a parchment that interests her:
I believe that I read that JKR said in an interview that anyone who was
familiar with Christian theology knows what's going to happen to Harry. If
anyone can find the source, I'd be grateful.
And yes, I too, have been fascinated with that little phrase "the last of
the Potters." As well as Dumbledore's triumphant gleam and Snape's sudden
move. As someone who has worked in publishing all her working life, I try
(and it ain't easy) to understand authors, but I do wish that she would just
*get on with it!*

The goddess turns to her constant companion Nike. "I think there was a
great discussion about this months ago. I believe it was from the American
Prospect journal. Please look in that great sheaf of parchments over
there."
Nike did as she was commanded. After a little searching she found the
original message was posted in March by the Catlady #36876.
the title is Fantasia: The Gospel According to C.S. Lewis.

(Slight OT rant here: anyone who wishes to respond to this, please take to
OT-Chatter)
Athena nodded at Nike. "Yes, I remember that article well. I also am very
fond of that journal. It was easy for me to remember the source because of
my fondness for it. The American Prospect had the courage to print an
article condemning what I thought was the most egregious miscarriage of
justice. Namely the Bush vs. Gore decision. Where the judicial branch
appointed the executive branch. Yale law professor Bruce Ackerman put forth
the brave proposal that should there be any vacancies in the Supreme Court
during this current presidential administration that they remain vacant.
Otherwise it is as if the judicial branch were being allowed to name their
own successors. I only wish that the U.S. Senators that are bound by law to
uphold their Constitutional oaths of office would come out and publicly
support such a proposal.

And a bit of shameless self promotion:
There was discussion in the last few weeks regarding who the next DADA
instructor might be and the significance of Arabella Figg. As well as a
discussion regarding Privet Drive security. I have been working diligently
on my own fan fic dealing with these issues and I have taken many ideas and
theories that I liked from HPfGU and wove them together. You can see my
writing at: http://www.schnoogle.com/authors/lcmccabe/SBSL01.html
I do subscribe to the idea that Arabella will be the next DADA instructor.
I also have her romantically paired with Sirius Black, in a ship that I've
called LOVE WAS BUST. Love Overcomes Voldemort's Evil With Arabella and
Sirius's Built Up Sexual Tension. (Sigh). Warning: The first two chapters
are quite steamy. It is rated R, but we're all grown ups here, aren't we?
