Me:
Cheers to you, Kia!
I thought I was the only one to feel this way.  I'm hoping JKR has 
something VERY, VERY unexpected up her sleeve.  And, given the last 
four books in canon, I think we can safely speculate that whatver she 
writes will seem very familiar on some plane of consciousness, but 
familiar with a distinctly JKR twist.  All the theories submitted so 
far are pretty much straightforward variations on plot devices we 
have seen hundreds of times before.  I do have faith that Rowling is 
more inventive than that.  I for one would like to see how CoS ties 
in with everything.  I have the distinct impression that none of us 
has as yet figured out all the connections.
Here's to OoP and beyond...
