The difference between Mystery and Suspense-

Mystery is when you know what happened, but you don't know 'who done
it'. As the story unfolds the mystery is revealed.

Suspense is when you know 'who done it', but you don't know how or
when the will 'catch him'.

I think what we are seeing is JKR adding more suspense to the story,
and that seems to fit where the story appears to be going. 

In the beginning, we are discovering the mysteries of the wizard's
world and Harry's life. Now we know 'who done it'; Voldomort done it,
and we are going to see more of what Voldemort has done and is doing,
the suspense will be in hanging on the edge of our seat wondering what
Harry and friends are going to do about it. How are they going to stop
it? How are they going to fix it? 

I can feel the suspense building already.

Just a thought.
