Yes and no.  I think JKR does some things some times that are "a 
little too obvious," but most of the time she doesn't.  Since I am 
basing my expectations not on what seems obvious but on the fact that 
she hardly ever *is*, I am double-faked out.  I hope that makes sense.

And while it could be said that Sirius seemed doomed, I was hoping so 
very hard to be wrong that it surprises me how anti-climactic JKR 
managed to make his death.  I mean, I spent all this time with my 
toes sort of curling, hoping it wouldn't be him (or Ron, or Hermione, 
or Dumbledore, or Hagrid), and on the edge of my seat, that by the 
time Sirius went through the veil (with so very little fuss), I was 
kind of wore out already.
