I say: 

For the record...I don't really support the whole 'Hedwig getting killed' 
theory. I just can't see how it would move the plot forward...unless, as 
Maria said, there are some sort of repercussions caused by it.  

It just seems too small scale...and I am not expecting childish pranks (even 
from Fred and George) in the next book(s).  

btw-has an attack on the Weasley household been discussed? I just have this 
picture of Ron, Harry, and (???) coming to The Burrow and seeing the Dark 
Mark hovering above it....very scary, IMO.
