Well, if the DE had gotten rid of or otherwise prevented the guards, 
official staff etc. from being at MoM, stated as likely in the FAQ, 
they would certainly have rigged the phone, wouldn't they? I mean, 
it's one of the entrances. And Lucius must know just about everything 
about building security by now, having Fudge in his pocket...
(snicker). It's still a funny line at the time, so 
this doesn't detract from the moment. Anyway, Lucius does say 
Voldemort is aware of Potter's hero rescuey thing (ie Potters 
compassion or whatever it is makes us do that stuff, often without 
thinking... etc etc). Why didn't Voldemort just get it, using his 
myriad magics? Because he was being cautious. He wasn't cautious the 
first time about the prophecy, and it cost him.

As for Luna and her function in relation to Rowling in the books - 
well, perhaps a bit of a sacrificial lamb, maybe, so that Hermione 
can live? Luna representing "the room", or rather, knowledge of it or 
of what's in it (she thinks she knows what's in it, Luna does) - a 
part that is missing from the trio, but necessary for understanding 
the other magic that's mentioned in the prophecy, and is thus key.

As for getting out of the series - how about portkeying (by hook or 
crook) Voldemort to the front of the arch, and then broomsticking him 
through (as he pulls Harry with him)? (don't quote me on the 
broomsticking thing, okay?) How about portkeying Voldemort 
into "the room"? How does one trick Voldemort? It would have to sound 
very rational, very straightforward, no hint of a trick. He can't 
really be forced, can he? Gotta create doubt, or great desire, in 
Voldemort's mind.

Can a person or animal be a portkey?
