  Okay guys,

  You know how many movies and books end with a big, glorious fight scene with everyone taking on just the right person?  Should this happen in book 7, what would the pairings be?

Tina:

I would have to say that these would be my ideal parings:

I agree with the Harry vs LV and also the ones involving Neville and Lupin. 

However, I think it will be Ron that will fight Draco. Only looking at it from the standpoint that Draco makes fun of Ron being poor more than he calls Hermione a 'Mudblood.'

Unfortunately, because Jo promised that there would be more deaths, I think that Arthur and Hagrid will be dead by this point. Jo seems to have a patricide side to her writing (first James, then Sirius), so that is the reasoning behind that theory.

I would like to see Snape and Lucius duel it out, that would be an interesting paring in the end, too. Especially since it seems that Lucius has such high regard for Snape. 

Better question yet:

Who will remain standing at the end of the final battle?
