I've been reading through the posts, and a thought struck me.  Now 
this probably has been discussed to death, but being relatively new 
to this, I find it hard to search the posts.  The sheer volume is 
daunting.

My thought is this...

Don't you think there is a nice balance to JKR's story.  I mean we 
have the current trio; Harry, Ron, and Hermione.  Then there is the 
trio of the past; James, Remus, and Sirius.  Draco is Harry's 
nemisis, Snape was James.   There is Wormtail, the bumbler, and 
Nevile, his modern counterpart.  

Can anyone think of anymore?  And how do these parallels relate to 
the story?  Are there clues here as to what will happen?

IMHO, and I did post this in the past; though to find my post is 
difficult; if JKR is seeking to balance the story, we find Harry in a 
loveless home environment at the beginning of his saga.  To make the 
scales equal, don't you think he should end up part of the Weasly 
family (I know some of you SHIPpers, disagree) by being with Ginny?

D - an optomist at heart, if ever there was one.
