JK Rowling's site has been updated today, providing quite a bit of
grist for the mill. Big news is the title for book 6, found behind
the now unlocked door. Looks official to me.
She has also updated her FAQ's, touching on a number of threads that
have woven their way through these discussions:
- Why Harry saw the thestrals when he did;
- Why Harry didn't use Sirius' mirror;
- A brief comment on the prophecy;
- An interesting, speculative question concerning Ginny and Tom
Riddle that is more significant than it seems (JK's coyness is
showing);
- One more attempt to clarify the "Lily and James from Voldemort's
wand" question.
The thestral answer, in particular, seems quite definitive and would
appear to put to rest the speculation on who Harry saw/didn't see
die.
I haven't posted the title or answers here, assuming most folks
would prefer the pleasure of discovering these new tidbits for
yourselves.

ps: first post, although I've been practically choking on trying to
digest the last few months' worth of discussion.
