Cate:
Thank you Frank - you have said more eloquently than I did a day ago 
that a sacrifice of a major player is very probable in one of the 
next two books. I had a list of possibles, with DD being my first 
choice: 

1)Dumbledore (a la Obi Wan - "the force is inside you Harry!") - 
Harry is now truly alone in facing Voldy.
2) Snape - the ultimate love/hate act between Snape & Harry & the 
final vindication of Snape's motives all these years.
3) Wormtail - sort of obvious.
4) Rob - after all, he proved himself capable of this in the chess
match in PS (although I'd hate it)
5) Harry - the ultimate "if I die, he dies" scenario - evermore to
be known as "the boy who HAD lived" (hope this is totally wrong)

Any further thoughts?

Cheers,
