I'm of the opinion that Harry can die. How? Harry, in a big battle
with the Dark Lord sees the green flash coming and knows that AK will
kill him. Just as it hits him, he wakes up in his cupboard under the
stairs. Did you ever have one of those dreams where you're falling and
you wake up just before you hit the ground?<<<

That's a really long dream! I honestly hope the dream theory isn't how
the book will end.. that seems rather anti-climatic to me. Alice in
Wonderland didn't make lasting friendships, and achieve amazing
things... she just wandered about and explored a really crazy world,
that as a drea, doesn't bother me. Harry's life at Hogwarts being a
dream would. Now, wether or not he could die... I'm expecting the
unexpected, so I believe it's possible. It would be really sad, so I
hope that isn't the ending, either.

>>>I agree that something is planned for Neville, but what that is, I
am not yet sure. There's a theory going around that he's had very
strong memory charms put on him as a toddler because he saw his
parents get crucio-ed, and that's why he is so forgetful and clumsy.
Maybe those memory charms wil be removed and Neville will really come
into his own, which I would love to see.<<<

I'm hoping Neville gets his moment, too. I would love to see him kick
some butt, that poor kid. That memory charm theory is interesting, too...

On the topic of deaths.. if Lucius Malfoy is going to get killed, and
a known character is going to do it.. I really hope it's Arthur Weasley.

>>>I really hope that JK fleshes out some more romantic storylines in
the coming novels. I actually like the idea of Harry vieing with Ron
for Hermione's affections.<<<

I think that there will definatly be something between Ron and
Hermione in future books, especially since in one interview (no, I
don't have a source, just my memory) JKR said something along the
lines of 'There's something going on, of course Ron doesn't realize
it'. (Sorry to paraphrase.. if someone could find the original
interview, that'd be great.) The only thing that makes me believe
there will be something between Harry and Hermione, was the fact that
she kissed him on the cheek at the end of GoF, and it was pointed out
that that was something she had never done before. (I don't have that
quote, either... my friend still has my copy of GoF). Of course, I
believe that she did that because of his whole Cedric experience..
which was worse than anything else he'd been through. Added to the
fact, that after all that, he had to go home with the Dursleys where
he would have no friends / anyone to talk to.

I think there is a big possibilty that Harry won't end up with anyone
at the end of the books, or even during. He could be the lone hero
(hehe). Afterall, they'll only be 17 years old at the end. I don't
think he'll ever date Cho... Cho seems more to me the unattainable
first crush that so many teenagers have. The person that is attractive
and popular. He's barely had a conversation with her, and I just can't
see her becoming a major character. Hermione is possible, but I just
don't see them being anything more than friends. Ginny is possible,
and I believe the most likely of all of them... but I think she would
have to have a bigger part in the upcoming books. As for anyone else,
who knows.

keeper, the one both Sirius and James would agree could be the safest).<<<

What an interesting theory, and one that I hope plays out. As I was
reading your post, that's exactly where I thought each one would go.
It would be very interesting to find out that Sirius was in
Slytherin... it would give a new perspective on that house. Afterall,
not every Slytherin is an evil bastard... that would be way too
stereotypical, and why would you let them even attend Hogwarts? I
could see Peter as a Hufflepuff, -much- more than I could imagine him
as a Gryffindor.
