So.. there's pretty much a fixation on death for each character now? Name a
character, and a group is obsessed with the idea that they'll die? Look, JKR
wrote this series for children, as good as it might be for adults too. You
really think she's going to subject kids aged 7 to 12 to the very possible
fact that Harry will die? I rememebr sitting in on some 12 year olds being
read CoS. When Harry was near-death, the poor kids fairly gasped and
screamed.. what if he DOES die?

I'd like to think that no matter how long you've lived, 10 years is STILL 10
years. Time is relative, afterall.. it doesn't get faster or slower
depending on age.
