Well <blush> thanks. I wish I had an acronym for it - DeadLand!Harry
perhaps.
I do wonder about Dumbledore's role in the coming volume. Its all rather
DISHWASHED thoughts. I am haunted by that phrase  "I will only truly
have left this school when none here are loyal to me... Help will always
be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it."  I suspect Dumbledore
will indeed be removed from the school by Fudge & the Govenors, and
those that remain at Hogwarts will (MUST!) remain loyal to him and ask
him for help if they are to win the next battle in the war. Maybe D is
sent to Azkaban? I don't think even the dementors could keep him there
though, because I also remember his claim to invisibility /sans
/cloak.........

I think we are going to see much chaos and overturning in the WW soon.
It will all be unsettling, and I think we will see a time when LV & DEs
manage to get a few serious blows in.  Personally, I also hope we get to
the bottom of MemoryCharm!Neville, and a bit of romance for Hagrid
instead of death. I like very much the idea of LV inheriting Wormtail's
lifedebt as well as Lily's love, as a result of the resurrection ritual. 
Maybe some reluctant spying by polyjuiced Snape!Crouch jnr will help
Perhaps all this, combined with the information he gets from DD and his
parents in DeadLand, is what Harry needs to see him through this round.

Life sure is tough for a teenage eternal hero. Go Harry!
