OK, two things keep nagging at me right now - with more to come I am 
sure.  

First does Hermione come off as too perfect right now?  I mean I 
know that the theory is that there are 2 characters you can get away 
with saying about anything, and she is one of them, but she's too 
perfect. I mean is there anything they don't have her doing?  She's 
a prefect, top in her class, always has her homework done and helps 
everyone with theirs, hands out love advice, can do spells equal to 
7th year work, fights for the freedom of elves and plans a 
rebellion.  In fact she's shown as so perfect that when she doesn't 
remember that Snape is a member of the Order it seems totally OOC.  

The other thing that came to me as I was falling asleep came out of 
my mouth in one word - execution.  Does anyone else think that that 
room with the dais and the archway is or was the way of execution 
for wizards?  Maybe they stopped with executions, and that's why it 
is in ruins, but that's what came to mind.  I mean we don't know 
what killed Sirius.  Was it AK?  We just know a light hit him, but 
maybe it wasn't AK and the fact that it knocked him back into the 
arch was what killed him.  I really wonder.
