Lissa:

I agree with both of you.  Susan, I hope Lupin can help Harry, and Boyd, I 
agree with you that Harry's probably on his own.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating here: JKR is systematically 
removing all of the adults that Harry loves from him.  I believe this is 
intentional, because Harry has to feel completely alone to take on 
Voldemort.  In fact, I think we're going to see the kids removed from him 
in ways too, although those are harder to predict.

I have a nasty, nasty feeling Lupin is primed for death in book 6 or 
7.  He's lost too much, and I don't think he'll ever let anyone close to 
him again.  You'd think that would be a common bond between them, but I 
think Lupin will see hope in Harry's situation, and not in his own.  I 
wonder if Lupin might be too bitter to really emotionally help Harry by the 
time we get into HBP.

Boyd:

And if Fudge wants to sweep LV and the DEs under the rug, how far
might he go? Would he imprison OoP members (they're of questionable
credibility anyway)? Force DD out of Hogwarts again? Would the OoP
become a renegade force (again) despite the MoM scene? Sad, and also
does not sound like Harry moving forward.

Lissa:

I wouldn't put some of that past Fudge.  (And the nasty part of me quite 
likes the idea of him imprisoning OotP members.  That would be so evil of 
JKR.)  What I question is will Fudge have the authority to do this?

He's out of MoM- we're pretty sure about that.  But a lot depends on who 
becomes the next MoM, and where Fudge's standing is in the Ministry.  I 
doubt it will be an OotP member.  Honestly, it makes more plot sense for it 
to be someone who is pro-Voldemort, although not one of the ones doing hard 
time in Az.  I'm having a hard time coming up with a good name, but who 
knows.  Heck- it could be Amos Diggory.  That would be pretty interesting, 
given Amos's method of jumping to conclusions.

I guess the reason I think the MoM has to be of no help is because of 
exactly what Boyd said- JKR's written Harry a very lonely destiny.  He 
can't get help from ANYWHERE- either because they can't help him or he 
won't let them help him.

Hmmm.  Can't think of more to say.  Must be bedtime.
