[HPforGrownups] Doomed, they're Doomed!

Hi --

Pip gave us an analysis of the likelihood of death & doom for various characters --

I agree that Hagrid & Dumbledore are both DOOMED ..... they both definitely have the DOOMED target on their backs.  :::nods::: 

Sirius -- No!  No, no, no.  :::falls to her knees & pleads with JKR::::  No...no....

Lupin -- I would add him to the category of DOOMED though.  A werewolf & one of JKR's top favorite characters.  Yes, he's doomed for certain.

<<<<McGonagall: Currently too boring and underwritten to die.>>>>

Boring??  Boring?  But ... but.... McGonagall is one of my top 5-6 characters.  Really.  No, she's not boring at all.  In fact, I think she is often underestimated.  After all, Cindy ... *Snape* didn't do a darn thing to save Barty Crouch Jr. from that dementor either, you know.  :--)

<<<<Snape: Currently too sneaky, mean and tough to die. His death in a 
Bravely Redeeming Fashion would have a very high nausea rating. Also 
A Good Person Who Has Done Evil Things, which could come in useful 
for Ron (see below).>>>>>>>

No, I think Snape is another one with DOOMED written all over his forehead.  There's just no way that he will survive the series IMO.

<<<<<<Besides, at least one of McGonagall or Snape has to survive, as 
someone has to explain all the plot points at the end of Book 7. ;-)>>>>>

Ack!  Now you're assuming that *Harry* will die?  No.  :::more insane pleading with JKR:::  If there's one character that I want most desperately to survive, it would be Harry.  He deserves to survive & be happy.  

<<<<<<<<Hermoine: Would be a bit suicidal, since she's JKR's alter-ego. 
However, her tendency to forget she's a witch under stress may lead 
her into serious problems. Pupil Most Likely to Become A Civil 
Servant/Government Employee.>>>>>>>>

Hermione does not have a "tendency" to forget she's a witch under stress.  Are you still condemning her for an isolated incident when she was 10/11 yrs old?  C'mon.  Give the girl a break already.  She operates quite well under stress these days actually.
