The prophecy + the Veil room in the Dept. of Mysteries leads me to a 
real conundrum.  I think that, now, besides the two obvious endings 
to the series (Harry triumphs, or "Lord... Thingy" triumphs) there 
is a third possibility.  Harry could, based on Luna's not-too-loony 
assertion that the dead are behind that veil, take himself down with 
Voldie.  The gang was very very tempted to peek and see what was in 
there... and Harry has nothing to lose either way now.  His family 
and Sirius are dead, and I think a rash young teenager might opt to 
ignore that loyal band of the living at Platform 9 and 3/4 in favor 
of his "real" family behind the veil. 

So: does anyone have a very firm opinion re: James and Sirius the 
bullies, then?  That's a relationship snag that might prevent Harry 
from going down with Voldie.  I was so disappointed to learn that 
the Marauders were barely better than Dudley's miscreant buddies.  
Snape might be an odious guy, but that's trauma in the Nth degree 
when you're a teenager.  I can remember kids acting just like that 
in school.  It's baggage that most adults are unable to forget, and 
for good reason.  Maybe it was his worst memory because Lily saw his 
underpants. :(  There's a plot twist!
