ME- Sirius was my first thought, then I thought McGonagall, because I 
was starting to like her SSOO much in this book.  And that is 
normally a bad sign.

ME- I think Snape has serious issues and needs a wizard 
pyschologist.  I mean it, he obviously hasn't overcome his abusive 
background, his old grudges or his old hatreds.

ME- She would know where it is, but since DD put extra stuff on it, 
and is now the secret keeper, I think that she could be standing 
right on the doorway and not even know it.

I have no idea when the next book is coming out.  I just hope we 
don't have to wait 3 more years.  

This book was sort of strange for me, it took a while to get into 
it.  It felt like a really slow beginning for me.  And sort of 
depressing.  Even Harry being angry felt depressing to me.  The Mrs. 
Weasley's woes had me sobbing.  Then meeting the dear Prof Umbridge, 
and how wonderful she was (reminds me very much of the boss I just 
got rid of), it all started to add up to me just not feeling really 
into it until about halfway through.
