Hey everyone -

I must apologize first if what I am about to ask has been brought up 
already.  Approximately two posts every minute are lining up and I 
simply cannot read them all, as much as I'd like to.  Here goes -

1. Molly Weasley - What do you all think of her now?  Why is she in 
the Order anyway?  What does she do, other than cook and clean and not 
share anything with her children?  Is she a competent witch 
considering she couldn't even dispel of a boggart or is she exhausted 
and overworked?  Does she see her children as people or as kids only?  
Lastly, does she treat her twin sons poorly, especially when she 
shoves them out of the way to hug Ron?

2. The Sorting Hat - Is the new song a hint from JKR that the Houses 
will tumble in book 7?  Does anyone else see Hufflepuff as the one who 
had the right idea all along?

3. Lockhart - Did anyone else feel terribly sorry for him when we 
found out that no one ever comes to visit him?

4. Did anyone else think Petunia's question to Dudley about Harry 
using his *thing* was absolutely hilarious?

names and Darrin needs to step up and find them!
