I'm in the same boat as Morgan - owning the Bloomsbury books, I've never 
paid attention to the fact that the US editions have illustrations and have 
never sought them out before.

Two unconnected but relevant pieces of opinion, offered and to be accepted 
without rancour or bitterness:

1) I'll be perfectly honest and admit that I don't like GrandPre's work for 
the Potter books, neither for the cover art nor for the chapter headings. I 
find them just a little too naive and quite distracting.

2) I am surprised by the amount of speculation which the picture of an 
incomplete book cover (well, spine and a little of the back cover) has 
generated in the parallel thread. It all seems utterly pointless to me.

As I said, just opinions... I know we're all going a little stir crazy 
waiting for OoP, but this is going just a little too far for my taste.
