The other thing we knew- that JKR said she considered that person a 
*major* character. So when Mr Weasley was attacked, I started crying 
thinking this was it... But then he was okay. On the flip side, when 
Harry was dreaming that Sirius was being tortured, I thought that he 
would end up being fine, and that someone else would go. I thought 
that killing Sirius was a major stunner and I can't wait to see how 
JKR will have them all dealing with his death. I thought she did a 
great job with Harry's shock/denial/grief. I cried from when 
Dumbledore shed a tear to when Harry went to Nick to see if Sirius 
could come back.
