need to introduce a new character to be Harry's love interest when 
she  already had Ginny at hand.  But I prefer to treat the 
characters as real,  not plot elements. Trying to analyze the plot 
that way can really lead to error.

    Halli:
     I'm not trying to kill anyones visions of a "happy ending" or 
anything, but somehow I don't see these books as romantic as some of 
you... I'm not entirely sure that everyone is going to pair off in 
the end and get married or whatever... I mean, this is more of a 
subplot than anything isn't it? Why such a big deal? I'm sure that 
the stories will be just as good if theres no sappy "I just 
realized! I love you Harry!" "Wow! /I/ just realized I love 
Luna!" "Oh how perfect that we all have someone to love now that VM 
is defeated! It's just perfect!" I mean, I just never really 
envisioned that happening in the end. Maybe a couple of people would 
get together, or have been together, but quite frankly, at the risk 
of sounding like an old grouch, theres been alot of posting going on 
about this, seems a rather touchy subject for a few of you... It's 
not really of that much importance...

Hopefully no ones too mad at me...
