It is not that clear to me. So far, two pure wizard families have 
ceased to exist (Crouch and Black). My guess is that by the end of the 
books, a few more will be gone too. So the world won't go on like 
before - the WW in particular seems to be falling apart. Besides, I 
didn't *like* how the WW *was* before, so changes would be welcomed, 
IMO.

Not really. In the last day, there have been at least 5 theories that I 
have read about how the prophecy could be loopholed. And I haven't been 
able to read through the 1000+ posts, so I'm sure there are a few 
others (Darrin, do you know? You seem to have kept up to date).

No-one can answer those questions (except JKR, maybe. And even she 
isn't married to her outline, as we know). You'll have to wait for book 
7, I'm afraid.

Hope that helps,

we know what to call them when quoting ("jbenne" is a little 
cumbersome)
