Okay, so where do we go from here, do you think?  How is Harry going to cope
this summer with the Dursleys?  I don¹t think he¹ll be left without contact
again (the summers, though awful, never seem to be repetitive).  Harry
hasn¹t really talked to anyone about Sirius.  Hermione tried, but Ron kept
hushing her and Harry wasn¹t sure he was ready, it depended on his mood.
That leads me to think he¹s getting ready so I hope R&H will keep in close
contact for when he does want to talk.  Why couldn¹t DD set up a portkey
between the Burrow and Privet Drive so at least Ron and Harry could "hang
out" or do whatever teenage boys do on summer vacation (paging Hermione and
Ginny. . .)  Wouldn¹t you love to see Dudley¹s reaction if suddenly girls
were showing up at the door to call on Harry?

What about the strange connection between Petunia and Harry at the beginning
of OotP?  How will that come into play and will a new understanding be
formed between the two of them.  Will we finally get to get some information
on Lily?  Will Petunia warm up to Harry at all now that she understands his
life is in danger, or will she even care?  Something about her reaction to
the news that Voldemort is back makes me think that she might.  If so, how
will Dudley take to that, or Vernon?  Will Vernon be afraid of the threats
the Order gave him or will he be even more incensed at their interference
and take it out on Harry?

So what are your thoughts on Harry¹s summer?

hopes the wait to book 6 won¹t be too, too long)
