SSSusan:
Very interesting, Pippin; thank you for that.  When JKR said, "What's 
very important for me is when DD says that you have to choose between 
what is right and what is easy" and "*All* of them are going to have 
to choose," is the assumption that she's INCLUDING Voldy, or that 
she's speaking about Wormtail, Harry, etc., but NOT Voldy since 
he's "a raging psychopath, devoid of the normal human responses"??

*My* take would be that JKR intends for Voldy to be included in 
the "all will make choices" and all "have to choose" between right & 
easy.  Others' thoughts??
