Lissa:

Stefanie- I totally agree with you on Percy.  Sadly, I'm pretty convinced 
that Percy is simply being a prat.  (I know the arguments one way or the 
other, but I take Percy personally as my brother is pulling the same 
stunt.)  I think Percy's actions are in character, and I think there's 
nothing to be gained there.

I do agree that she's being selective about the questions, and will be 
selective about her answers.  It's not going to help us that much.  I don't 
think we'll find out more about the Prank or Snape's story and why he and 
DD trust each other or if Sirius and Remus were lovers or if Harry will end 
up with one of our lovely ladies or how he'll defeat Voldie or anything we 
REALLY want answered until the books are done.  I'm torn between 2 and 3, 
like you.

I guess it depends on what side you're more interested in.  #2 will give 
you more ideas about what Voldie's up to, #3 will give more clues about DD.
