Jen: (laughing)You do have a way of putting things, urghiggi!

My hope, though, is that the Trio will understand and accept Luna for 
her gifts without any *tangible* proof. 

I've read on here before that Hermione represents the Mind, Ron the 
Heart, and Harry the Soul. To be successful in their quest, they need 
to now include Luna, the Intuition. She is the missing piece from 
Harry's equation, the power he denies himself every time he runs into 
an adventure without consulting his internal compass.

He turns to Hermione for knowledge, Ron to love him like a brother, 
and now he needs Luna to remind him to calm down and trust his 
instincts. Only then will Harry finally be the "One with the Power to 
Vanquish the Dark Lord."

And Harry, at least, is recognizing Luna for who she is. I don't 
think Ron is far behind, and even Hermione admitted that "real 
Prophecies exist" so she'll come around if she can suspend her 
reality a bit. 

But it would be icing on the cake if the heliopaths come marching out 
of the MOM!
