You make a good point I hadn't thought of.  I did have a fleeting 
thought though, that it would be Snape who saves Harry, again, 
sacrificing his own life...Only this time, from Voldemort. I said it 
was fleeting...

Frankly, I don't want to see any more deaths. It's all very 
depressing. I was very content with the first three books where the 
deaths were long past or only the bad guys bit the dust. When Cedric 
died I was stunned. I suppose it was naive of me to expect the 
story "to stay away from the Dark Side." *sigh*
