ME:  I forgot about the portrait that Dobby painted.  Dobby is a
magical creature too, so I wonder how long it will be before Harry's
pic starts talking and telling Harry what to do.  :) haha
I can just picture Harry in his room and grumping about his lot in
life, stuck in 4 Privit Drive AGAIN.  In his room again!  Then Harry
hears sounds coming from his trunk.  He opens it up and muffled sounds
are coming from the bottom of the truck.  What could it be?  Harry
himself talking to Harry.  The only one who understands his problems.
And he talks out his problems with HIMSELF; cause no adult seems to
want to help this poor kid who has been abused by his jailors (Aunt
and Uncle, cousin)... attacked by a mad man ie: LV; who killed his
parents! and now his godfather is killed off by a LV follower!  

Can you tell I'm really distressed that good ol' Harry is left
floating in the depths of dispair, with no one helping him. So I kind
of like that Harry get to talk it out with someone... what am I saying
anyone!

Well, anyone else think this is a good idea?  I can't say I think that
JKR will use this in her next book... but, maybe
