Hmmm....another thing that's been bothering me:  How did Sirius know 
where *Harry* lived?  And did he really expect he would be able to 
see him?  After all, everyone believed him to be guilty, and I think 
he would have suspected that people would be trying to protect Harry 
from him.

He could have known about the Dursleys from being friends with James 
and Lily, but would he have known where they lived and that Harry 
would be under their care?

Any thoughts?

Part of me wants to say that was probably common wizarding knowledge to some degree.  I mean it was common knowledge that Harry was being raised by muggle relatives, at least I believe it was it's implied as such.  I would definitely think that Sirius would have read a bit about the it in the daily prophet and would thus have just assumed from his relationship with James and LIly that it would be the Dursley's it would almost have to have been them I believe considering they were the closest living relatives to Harry.

My favorite bit of forshadowing would have to be the chessboard when ron "Sacrifices" himself to save Harry and Hermione.  I believe that this is definitely a foreshadow of a more permanent harder sacrifice that Ron will have to make, his life. Although, I have my many theories about Ron and his struggles ahead.  Yes, I believe Ron will toy with the dark side(the power, prestigue, etc will get to him) but ultimately I see him returning to the good side and sacrificing himself for Harry.
