Valky:
What a cooool thread you started Plinker. Its a good way for us to 
kind of collate and organise our main thoughts about HBP so far... 
anyway here goes for me............

#1 Harry's OWLS.
He will get O's and E's mostly,with the exception of Potions and 
Divination, in which he will probably get Acceptables provided there 
is no Umbridge tampering involved. I really don't think he'll care 
that he doesn't get an O or E in Potions he really didn't want to be 
an Auror in his heart, it was just something to say. 
I have been wanting to say for a long time that Harry will get a 
surprising O! for care of Magical creatures! 
At first he will be very glad that he has managed to give such a 
great reward to Hagrid who has suffered much. He will credit the O 
to Hagrids teaching unequivocally but later he will be reminded by 
Hermione and Ron that he is excellent at the subject. 
It will be a turning point for Harry to realise that his potential 
lies in his love for all things and his impressive list of 
challenging victories will be noted which I think we should read 
carefully; Aragog, Fawkes, Dobby, Snakes, the snitch (based on a 
magical creature) he was the first to ride Buckbeak, he understands 
the Centaurs like not even Hermione can.

#2 Sirius.
NH Nick was most likely right that Sirius is the *kind of person* 
who would move on with his next adventure, but I think not before he 
has done all he can for Harry. 
It may be a bit of wishful thinking on my part but either way, watch 
just as Harry is beginning to accept that Padfoot is gone and he 
just won't see him anymore while he's alive, for a message from 
Sirius to pop up in some subtle way, which Harry will most certainly 
miss the first few times, but we don't have to.
 
#3 Luna and Hermione.
At the end of OOtP Hermione finally bit her tongue and felt a bit of 
warmth for Luna, as in PS when the trio battled the troll together 
they had just been a part of something too important as a team to 
not become friends. 
The way I see it Luna is like the magnifying glass that we always 
needed, with Lunas microscope on Hermione's eyes we are going to see 
a lot more revealed. So watch for parrallels between what Hermione 
and Luna say their observations are. 
Also Harry and Hermione are very important to each other, Harry is 
her rock and she is his, their friendship will be sorely tested by 
Luna so watch for a bit of jealousy from Hermione too.
