Perhaps this is indicating that the end of the books will not involve 
complete resolution of the good vs. evil battle. The dark side (I 
just went to Star Wars II, so that sounds wierd) will appear to be 
winning at the end of the series. BUT, paralleling Krum's snitch 
capture, the light side will obtain a key victory which will make the 
ongoing fight . . . what's the word I'm looking for? Not easier, but 
erm, more hopeful perhaps. Kind of like the light in Dumbledore's 
eyes at the end of GoF. Even thought the dark side has achieved 
victory, Dumbledore sees something which may tilt the balance in 
their favor.
