SSSusan:
Whoa.  Unless there's sarcasm in that thar final sentence, methinks 
I detect a change of attitude w/in Kneasy?  Could it be that you 
believe Harry *will* have choice in the end?  I thought I remember 
your belief that Harry really *hasn't* had choice--that DD [and 
perhaps circumstance?] has been controlling so much that Harry 
hasn't been allowed a true choice of his own.  [I don't agree, but I 
thought that's what I remembered of your view.]

Okay, wait.  There's two ways to take "DD's choices."  EITHER "DD's 
choices," as in something DD's fond of reminding us are our ultimate 
power, OR "DD's choices," as in they're HIS and HE is the one doing 
the choosing.  So is that precisely your point--that it'll come down 
to one more DD string-pull and not a true choice for Harry?  Or will 
this one finally be Harry's for real?

Or was it a throw-away phrase and I wasn't supposed to read so much 
into it? ;-)
