Siriusly Snapey Susan now:
Thanks for bringing this up, Kitten; it's a fun thread.  And I like 
Anne's extension to The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.

THE GOOD
Bellatrix is "dealt with" satisfactorily [any number of ways!]

The demise of Voldy is CLEAR--meaning, whatever happens, there's no 
doubt what it is & what it means.

Wormtail turns from Voldy but still gets his punishment for being a 
wuss.

Alternatively, what Alshain alluded to here:  "Lupines, ease the 
pains of the spleen, *kill worms and cast them out* [emphasis mine]"
...in other words, Remus gets to kill Pettigrew, which I'm sure would 
feel good on some level, after losing James & Sirius.

OBHWF - MINUS ONE.  That is, either Percy turns fully to the dark 
side or one of the boys is toast, but beyond that, the rest of the 
Weasleys form OBHWF.  [Sorry, that's my consession to saccharine.]


THE BAD
Harry dies.

Snape's FULL motivations for joining the DEs and leaving the DEs are 
not revealed.

Evil!Lupin [I can't tolerate the "loss" of all four Marauders to 
death or darkness!]

Ron = Dumbledore

Luna + Harry = couple [ick]

Sevvie dies.  [Not that I'd like seeing DD die, but I *think* I'd 
rather see DD die than Snape.  DD's lived a full, productive life; 
Sevvie's still in his 30s.]

We don't find out which teachers are married & where those spouses 
are!


THE UGLY
The Creevey Brothers become a big part of the storyline.

SPEW turns out to the "the heart of it all".  [Dealing w/ prejudice 
would be a welcome topic, but NOT having SPEW turn out to be the 
solution.]

Harry gets turned on by Bellatrix.


Respectfully & opinionatedly submitted,
Siriusly Snapey Susan
