Of course you're right, and I thought of that the minute I had sent my post :) But while 
I think the fact that Harry spared PP will be important, I think PP is _way_ beyond 
redemption as a champion of the Order's cause, and so is essentially "dead" to his 
Marauder existence.

I agree. Having read the last day's posts, I'm inclined to think GG is the HBP, not 
Lupin, but that Lupin and his backstory will become central. Having GG be the HBP 
would make all my worries about what "Prince" means disappear, and I'm thrilled to 
think that the next book will have lots more on both GG and Lupin.
