I actually had an odd dream that something similar happened.  In my dream, 
after Harry defeated Voldemort and perished in the fight, everyone forgot 
everything.  No one remembered the Reign of Terror, the Death Eaters, or The 
Boy Who Lived.  I think that that would be a great way to end the series.  
Well, perhaps not *great* but better than "He defeated LV and lived happily 
ever after with Ginny Weasley."  To keep this on-topic: Does anyone think 
that Harry & Co. should've told someone that Lockhart didn't really do those 
things?  He's still getting credit for al those things his books are about.  
More pressing: what happened to Lockhart?  Any ideas?
