     Excellent post Kneasy but I snipped most of it because the 
ending caused a new thought to pop into my head. If, as many on the 
list speculate, Dumbledore is to die in either book 6 or at the 
beginning of book seven, does that mean that the role of chess 
master would fall to Harry? Will he need to become calculating as 
well, regadless of the outcoming for those he loves?

  just a thought, lionlou
