Another Jen...
Two things that we have discussed ad nauseum but I will be looking 
for the play out, 1)How will Harry and Snape interact? Harry's always 
had reasons to dislike Snape but the hatred coursing through him when 
he sees Snape for the first time after Sirius'death, that reached a 
whole new level. He's using Snape as a scapegoat, and while I'm 
hoping he gets over it, I don't think it will be a neat and tidy 
process. The other situation: Will Draco and the children of other 
DE's be back? And if so, how can school possibly be conducted as per 
normal?
