Carol snipped:
Speculation (including conspiracy theories) is certainly fun now, an
enjoyable way to fill in the long hiatus between one book and the
next, but once the seventh book is in, the plot will be revealed and,
after numerous complaints from all sides about unsatisfactory
resolutions and plotholes (because there's no possible way for JKR to
fulfill anyone's expectations but her own), the conspiracy theorists
will have nothing more to do. (Good luck finding another series in
progress that offers as much meat as this one!)

Snow:

Of course I cannot speak for all theorists on the list but I 
personally give JKR every "author"ity and will appreciate any ending 
she has in store. I just feel that it is my, so to speak, job to try 
to attempt to beat her to the punch. It's a great mind game.  How 
much of this story can I possibly figure out within the extreme 
limits, or limitations, of the clues that have been given thus far? 
It is quite intriguing! Like you have said, and I totally agree, I 
have yet to find an author that has challenged me to this degree. 

Carol:

Carol, who hopes that the younger list members will still be civilly
debating the meaning of the books and fitting the pieces together in
2050, when Snape is Headmaster of Hogwarts ;-)

Snow:

I couldn't agree more that many will find these books as intriguing 
(insert any adjective, they will all be correct) as we have had the 
privilege and impatience to theorize over while in the making. All of 
us are just a minute part of history in the making.
