Eek! I can't believe I didn't even think of this. You've all probably been 
discussing it and I just missed it somewhere.  :)

I'm trying to imagine the death being someone other than my guess 
(Dumbledore). Some of them do work for me. Hagrid, for instance, *is* an expendable 
character, in my opinion, and his death *will* be very emotional for most readers.

But Lupin, because of his lack of play in GoF, may not be a terribly 
emotional death for the majority of readers. We simply don't know him well enough. 

So my questions are: 
Wormtail's silver hand will most likely be important in the next book, but 
what will it do? 
Is the major death we're all fearing going to be Lupin's? 
Will that be anti-climactic, since many of us are expecting a character who 
has been there since day one, or will it be just as terrible as JK Rowling 
promised?
