I have no idea whether O will have a bigger role in future books, 
but I certainly hope so.  I know JKR can't put everything in every 
book, but I miss the trips to Diagon Alley when they are not there 
or are very limited.  O is one of my favorite characters from book 1 
and we don't see nearly enough of him.  I wanted to see Ron's wand 
selection scene so much.  (I also agree with another poster that we 
should see more of what Harry GIVES and less of what he gets, given 
that he is relatively wealthy.  Plus, I just like the stuff of the 
magical world.)

I have just joined the group and as such have not had time to read 
all the thousands of posts that have gone before :), but I too 
wondered about who knew Tom Riddle was V, why it wasn't better 
known, why they didn't take down his spurious award for Special 
Services to the school, etc.  I guess I'll have to check the 
archives for more on that, but if anyone can point me in a good 
direction, it would be appreciated.

Happy to be here and to help save you from tears, jsmgleaner.
