I feel much the same way -- When I saw the teaser that said, "Sit down
Harry, I'm going to tell you everything," I thought that really meant
*EVERYTHING*: Why Voldy wants Harry dead so badly, why *exactly*
that Voldy's AK was deflected, why James "had to die" but Lily didn't,
what Petunia is hiding, and a full bio of Severus Snape.  Instead, all
we got was a prophecy that most of us had already anticipated.  A bit of
a let down in an otherwise superlative book.
