I'd be more inclined to think of this as the end of Lockhart as opposed to Luna. Lockhart is the spinner of many tales and has been showing signs of recovery and according to JKR he will reappear in the storyline. Luna on the other hand appears to have a good relationship with her father and they travel together.. so why would he hate her?

Hi,

I simply think this is a very interesting and crucial information. we
laready know JKR based Mrs Norris on the Mrs Norris in Austen´s Emma.
So why shouldn´t she be inspired by a book she probably read: Spinners
End?
