boyd:

Or Jo could kill Ron! :o

Actually, though, I agree with you about romance not playing a major 
part in 6 & 7. I mean, why should it? JKR has plenty of other loose 
ends to tidy up before this series is done without having to revisit 
romance.

Unless she uses it to distract us from the real plot....

[A Low, Raspy Voice Breaks In]

"On the fifth month, she with the spiky purple hair will disguise 
herself as the One's best friend's true love and give the One to the 
Dark Lord, and the greatest wizard of our time will die saving the 
One. Then he who has left the Dark Lord forever will forcibly take the 
One to safety. And there will be much apologizing, and perhaps some 
tea and crumpets."

enough to lure him to LV, then Snape will jet in to drag Harry away to 
safety as LV kills DD]

huh?
