Why was Luna introduced?
Why was she given the moment at the end of OOP with Potter?

Taryn:
I absolutely loved Luna as a character. (And I really ought to reread OotP. Actually, I really ought to get my copy back so I can reread it. :P) I especially enjoyed her scene with Harry at the end of OotP. I think the important reason why Harry opened up to LUNA about it and not to Ron and Hermione, his best friends, is because Luna has experienced death. And there's a difference when you know someone has had that experience of losing someone so close to you. And Luna's entire mannerism is so....unassuming. I can just imagine it being so easy to open up to her.
