Absolutely NOT!  I wanted to come upon it fully in context and was 
horrified that I might hear before I could get there.  I went into 
it believing the death would happen to DD, Hagrid or Arthur 
Weasley.  I got a sick feeling in my stomach as I progressed further 
& further into the book and it became a bit clearer that it was 
likely to be Sirius.

Anyhoo...I do not anticipate peeking in books 6 or 7, BUT 
particularly if book 7 ends up being 700+ pages again, I just don't 
think I'll be able to wait for the grand finale.  If it's only 400-
500 pages, I think I can handle the wait.

Interesting question!  Let's see.  What could it be?  The humor?  
The excitement?  The anticipation over what will happen next?  

I think for me it would be these:
1)  Harry's feelings ring TRUE to me, for each age that he has been 
so far.  JKR has always been able to convey to the reader what it 
really feels like to be 11 or 13 or 15, what MATTERS to a person 
that age, as well as to the specific person of Harry, whose life has 
been what it's been.  [Ex.:  The *need* that Harry had for that to 
have been his father he saw across the lake in PoA--it felt so 
accurate for a 13-year-old to me.]
2)  I cannot WAIT to find out what really makes SNAPE tick!
3)  I love the Weasleys
