No, he hasn't.  Yet.  I do believe he is working up to it, but we 
won't know if he succeeds until pretty near the end of bk. 7 I bet.  
I just can't decide if I want him to succeed.  

Is it too fluffy for that?  I mean, I'd be all happy-happy, joy-joy 
with LV vanquished by Harry (with a little help from his friends), 
all of the Weasleys still alive (including Percy) with Arthur as the 
MoM allowing for renovations at the Burrow, Lucius and Draco humbled 
and near penniless, Lupin happily settled in to teach permanently at 
Hogwarts, Fred and George appearing on the cover of "Galleon" 
magazine as entrepenuers of the century, the house-elves unionizing 
and hiring Pansy to clean their bathrooms for minimum wage, Neville 
perfecting a graft of the mimbulous mimbetonia and devil's snare 
where unlucky trespassers are choked and slimed until the MagicPolice 
come, Luna finding the snorkak, Ron with Hermione, Harry with Ginny, 
and Dumbledore resting in his office with a years supply of woolen 
socks, but...

I don't know that that would make for intriguing reading. 

Adan, with the realization just dawning that I don't know WHAT I'd 
want for Snape.  My favorite character and I just have no clue.  
Weird.

And also just struck that the Weasley home is the Burrow when just a 
couple of days ago I was looking for a Mole...
