HAGRID
Wouldn't his purpose for being in the Order be his command and 
control of magical creatures, other than, of course, his loyalty to 
Dumbledore?  In GOF, Voldemort mentions being joined by "an army of 
creatures whom all fear." (GOF, Ch. 33, pg.651 American edition) It 
has been discussed numerous times that Hagrid likes the most 
dangerous of the magical beasts the most, the ones likely to be of 
the most interest and use to Voldemort. I sense a huge showdown 
coming with the beasts as well as the wizards.

SNAPE
"Snape never eats here," Ron told Harry quietly. (OOP, Ch. 4, pg. 77 
American Edition) 
Did this statement freeze anyone else's blood? Vampire, anyone? (Joke 
intended.)

LILLY'S EYES
So Harry has Lilly's eyes, but wears glasses like James. . . 
Hmmmm

SHIPPING
Okay, Nymphadora Tonks and Luna Lovegood. Wondering if we have a 
relationship coming in the future. I mean, the names mean the same 
thing, right? (Ha!)

JKR'S FAN-INSPIRED CHANGES
Thank heavens she had Ron and Ginny actually head off to take a bath 
and Harry (gasp) went to the bathroom. I was bothered that these 
wizards and witches never bathed (except Harry getting the clue for 
the egg in GOF) and never seemed to need to "go." Hermoine did 
mention once having a hard time having a pee with Moaning Myrtle 
carrying on, but still. Glad to see they are human.

Do you all wonder if Jo reads our messages -- and, if she could be 
posting here, possibly as bboy (do we all love him?) or someone else? 

OT
Can we come up with an abbreviation that stands for, "I truly and 
sincerely did try to read all the posts before I ventured forth in 
posting my opinion but I am going to burst if I don't send this in, 
so I apologize for bringing this up if it has already been discussed?"

I know I am not the only one who is having trouble keeping up with 
all these fabulous messages. I spend hours, enthralled, and still 
cannot get them all read. 

And, I do apologize if these things have been discussed before, etc.
