THE GOOD
 
An Interesting, complex, "Good Slytherin" I'm rooting for Blaise 
Zabini, who will once and for all be confirmed to be a boy.
 
Dumbledore dying, not because I want him dead, I just think it would 
be interesting to read how Harry and the Order will go on without 
him.
 
Snape continuing to give Harry Occlumency lessons. Come on... tell 
me you didn't grin every time it was time for Occulmency lesson for 
Harry in the fifth book. 
 
Percy was actually a spy for the Order in the MoM; and that his 
whole "I'm-turning-my-back-on-my-family" thing was a front.
 
Harry ending up with a minor character like Susan Bones, Just NOT 
Hermione, Ginny, or Luna.
 
Any other house besides Gryffindor winning the House Cup, they can't 
possibly win all the time.
 
I also want little Mark to come to Hogwarts, just not end up as 
Harry's cousin ten times removed.
 
THE BAD...
 
Will be very unhappy if Snape ends up being a traitor and a double-
agent guy, or a vampire. 
 
Redeemed!Draco  I don't care if Draco winds up fighting for the good 
side, but I don't want him turning all squishy and sweet.

Dead!Harry or Martyr!Harry, or a permanently tortured soul Harry.

Anybody but Harry defeating Voldemort... finding out that what is in 
the locked room is "love" then harry using it to put Voldy in a fate 
worse then death.
 
I can't stand OBHWF, if this happens I'll start to spontaneously 
jabbing my eyes out with a spoon. Or if all of the DOM-six getting 
paired up with one another in a wonderful love...thing.
 
I would be devastated if the books are less than 800 pages. 

Nothing JKR could write will make stop reading the books, but there 
are lots of things that would make me roll my eyes, Or will make me 
jump for joy.>>


Sigune (who agrees with practically everything Kitten and other 
posters have listed) proposes her own:

THE GOOD

Dumbledore dying. I agree with Kitten's reasons, and would like to 
add that (to me) Dumbledore is a wonderful character who will be 
missed - extra reason why he should die (unfortunately).

Slytherin winning the House Cup.

Hufflepuff winning the House Cup.

Like Kitten says, a complex, 'good' Slytherin. Sorely needed.

Snape becoming Headmaster of Hogwarts somewhere in the future (my 
absolute pet plot; sorry if I repeat myself).


THE BAD:

Snape and Harry becoming great pals, or turning out to be related 
('You know, Harry, I was only just pretending. Deep down I really 
like you' / 'Guess what, Harry, I am really your uncle Perseus').

Snape dying (*flourish* *angelic choir* 'I hereby sacrifice myself 
for the common good!').

Snape 'redeemed' (*sob* 'Oh, I have been so nasty, but redemption has 
changed me! I am a whole new man! Thank you Harry! Thank you Albus!').

Snape turning traitor to the Order ('Heh heh heh - you should have 
know that a guy with a hooked nose, yellowish crooked teeth, greasy 
hair and a sallow complexion who dresses in black, sweeps around 
dungeons looking like an overgrown bat and has a foul temper is 
really wicked!').

Vampire!Snape ('I thought I had made that QUITE obvious, dressing 
like I do and stalking around at night').

Lucius Malfoy dying.

DeathEater!Draco. And Cuddly!Draco, as you say, Kitten.

James, Lily, Sirius returned from the dead ('Surprise!' - or worse, 
*choir of angel voices*).

All the DE's being caught, punished and everything rounded off neatly.


My two Knuts...

Yours severely,

Sigune
