Boy ya'll are a talkative group ;) I've been saving all of the digests since
the release of OOTP and i'm still only on posts from Monday, June 23rd! But
i couldn't wait until reading the 4575 posts i've got left to post some more
questions. So if someone else has already mentioned them, forgive me.

1) What will happen to poor Buckbeak now? I wonder if Hagrid could have him
back now that Macnair and Malfoy have been proven to be DEs?

2) JKR went to the trouble of explaining Disillusionment Charms to us, but
then couldn't let Sirius use that as a means of "stretching his legs" and
getting out of that horrible house every once in awhile? C'mon!

3) Looking back at POA, when Lupin introduced the DADA class to Bogarts -
does anyone else find it odd that the thing that Nevil feared most was
Snape? After all he's been through, it wasn't Bellatrix or his Gran...it was
Snape. I wonder what horrible memories he could have of old Snivvelus from
years past?

4) Why wasn't the Minister of Magic aware of Harry's presence at the MOM
sooner? He was using underage magic outside of Hogwarts all over the place!
There should have been owls shooting around like fireworks!

5) Will book #7 be the end of Slytherin house? I mean really, take your
thoughts to the end of this series...the way it must end...no matter what
else happens...Voldemort must be killed with no chance of return. Thus
proving that he was, at one point, Tom Riddle...a Slytherin (most likely)
who went extremely bad. And even if he wasn't a Slyth, he had the belief
system of a Slyth. The last Heir of Slytherin will be gone and, by that
point, people MUST realize how horrible and evil that belief system is. So
WHY would Slytherin house be kept around at Hogwarts? If it is, another "Tom
Riddle" could easily go down the same horrific path! And while i realize
that evil can errupt out of the most innocent of places...why keep around a
breeding ground for evil that could be easily destroyed?

That's all the questions i have for the moment...i'll shoot out some replies
soon :)
