[HPforGrownups] Do You Peek?

For me?  No, I didn't read any spoilers, didn't want to know anything about
it, and didn't peek at the back of the book.

Personally, I LIKE to be surprised.  I also enjoy reading the book, and
trying to assemble my own conclusions from the clues I see.  That way, I can
be amazed if I get hit with a surprise, and happy when something I figured
out comes to pass.  (Like that Trelawny had made the original prediction
about Harry.  Kinda funny that the only two predictions she's ever made in
"oracle mode" have been about Harry... I wonder if she'll be dropping
anything else on us about him through Trelawny.)

Ya know... a thought just occurred to me.

People are upset about Sirius dying, and bemoaning his fate... wondering why
he had to be the one who died.

Has anyone else considered that this is one of the MAIN reasons he was the
one to die?  Not only for the impact it has on Harry, but also for the
impact it would have on the readers?
