My theory is that Rowlings will 'kill' off the era that many knows as 
the MWPP (yes I said 5, I included Snape as he is heavily intertwined 
with this)

Why?  That I still do not understand, perhaps to make way for the new 
generation, the less pure, the mingle blooded, less prejudice,...

The way it will go...(The men that got the attention of many adult 
fans)

1) James Potter.  Well he is already gone, but we still get glimpes 
into his life and how his actions affected the outcome and thoughts 
of others.  We know that he was Headboy, a good Quidditch player, 
stood up against Voldemort 3 times and was a bit of a punk in his 
fifth year.  (One down)

2)Sirius Black. Gone, and for what reason?  My heart went out to this 
man when I first met him in POA.  He was accused of a crime he didnt 
commit, spent the best years of his life in prison then forced into 
exile, showed devotion to his best friend's son (my goodness he ate 
rats for heaven's sake)  Snuffed out (pun) without clearing his name, 
without regaining any normalcy in life and again for what reason.

3)Remus Lupin.  This is the character I fell in love with.  The man 
with a heart of gold and an uncontrollable beast.  (To borrow from 
the modern genre,,,he is Katherine's Vincent, Buffy's Angel)  The 
creature we love, yet outcast in society.  He lost his best friend 
after reuniting with him, (each spoke each word as if it pained him), 
lives in poverty, rejected by the wizarding world and doomed.  
(Pettigrew's Silver Hand)

4)Peter Pettigrew. I cannot say I think much of this character. He 
betrayed James, got Sirius thrown in prison, help resurect Voldemort 
and yet he must be included in this era.  His actions are selfish and 
horrible, yet we do not know exactly why he betrayed his friends so 
easily.  What was the breaking point?  (though I still hate 
him...especially since I believe he will kill Remus) 

5)Severus Snape.  The antognist of the MWPP, or at least on James and 
Sirius' part.  But was he truly the offender or the offended?  His 
hatred for them has been transferred to Harry, yet he owes James his 
life.  The irony of it, I believe Snape will betray Dumbledore but in 
the end redeem himself by sacrificing himself for Harry. (Again this 
is another character I truly fell in love with,,, sigh all them will 
be destroyed I do believe) 

Thus ending the end of the era.
