Hi Laura and a huge congratulations on your good fortune. 
 
I have a burning question but it is not Snape-related, (at least I 
don't think so...<;)>

I would like to know if the HBP is a character that we already know 
or if it will be a new one?  

I think she could give an answer to that without giving too much 
away.

Also, some advice when you go.

Write down all of your potential questions,
in order (best to worse),  
and have a ton of them, 
you may not get to ask one until the end 
and many of them could have already been asked, (in some form or 
another).  

Make sure you have something to write with and some paper so you can 
take notes to keep everything in perspective.

Also tell her *HI* from all of your buddy's at HPfGU and we are 
waiting breathlessly for her answers.

Cheers, Becki
