I agree.
I think its the end of spinning the web of deception (LV has not come
back) by Cornelius and cohorts; a new Minister of Magic will be
created, and I also suspect the powerbase of Percival Ignatius Weasley
will come to an end. As far as I know, there is only one person who
can corral Percy, and what if had to say 'YES MINISTER' to his mother?
OOTP ended with Draco and Harry, wands out, ready for an almighty
fight, which began with Draco blaming Harry for Lucius's imprisonment.
JKR has hinted we are going to see something of Narcissa Malfoy, and
I would not put it past Draco to make a private visit to Azkaban
before boarding the Hogwarts Express, and receiving certain
information or instructions from Lucius.
Never forget that Draco is a moral coward. He will save his own bacon
and nothing else.
(BTW, Molly as Minister would make an interesting foil to Mrs Narcissa
(Nasty little name, yes? - presaging a nasty character?) Malfoy.
Felix is latin in origin as some have pointed out; felicity is a state
of benevolence, so happiness, luck, and good tidings would seem to be
the order of the day.
JKR was once asked, if she were in Harry's shoes, what would she do?
The reply was, JKR!Harry would go to a certain room which has
properties he has not yet discovered. I suspect these hitherto unknown
properties are to do with communication. I suspect this Felix Felicius
is to do with the Room of Requirement.
The one thing I think which would give Harry some felicity with regard
the death of Sirius is some communication with Sirius, (this does not
mean Sirius coming back) and we have not yet been introduced to one
thing JKR mentioned once: "Wizards/Witches have a much better (means
or medium) of communication than the Internet!"
Whether this is talking though mirrors or certain paintings (note that
everyone can talk to paintings - what if some are couriers or channels
of communication?) or some wizarding spell similar to mediumship, I
don't know; but don't rule this out. Ditto, don't rule out psychic
mediumship; after all, the batty Divination teacher is what the new
agers call an "untrained medium". So there are mediums, a room full of
prophecies.
