Lets take a look at the history of the adult characters in Hogwarts
and see if there is some forboding there for our present trio of
H/HR/R plus Neville.
Sirius- Twelve years in Azkaban for a crime he did not commit, now a
fleeing fugitive.
Lupin-Grew up to be an unemployed drifter who blew his one shot at
gainful employment by not confiding in D about the animagus abilities
of his school friends, and by not taking his anti-werewolf potion on
time.
Petegrew- need I say more....
James- Killed in action in the war against Voldy.
Now we have a new foursome, two of which have already suffered
horrors as a result of the war with Voldy:
Harry-Orphan, raised by abusive relatives, still being hunted down by
Voldy.
Ron- Poverty stricken as a result of his father's lack of success at
the MOM because of his fondness for all things Muggle.Constantly
struggling with his ego for his own sense of individuality in his own
family.
Hermione- Over-acheiver and perfectionist, her worst fear is to fail
at anything.
Neville- Traumatized by what was done to his parents at the hands of
the deatheaters. Possible psychological block regarding his magical
abilities out of fear. Not to mention the effects on his personality
by being raised by an overbearing grandmother.
Based on the history of the four adult characters and the outcomes
they suffered as a result of the war with Voldy, what will become of
the new four warriors-in-training? One of them will be the one to
surely die, if history repeats itself. It doesn't look like a happy
ending for any of them, but since JKR is ending the series here, at
least maybe we will find closure.
