Kim now:
I need to go back and look at the chapter(s) in OotP where they visit 
Lockhart at St. Mungo's, because I still have the impression that 
there was something a little fishy about him not having his memory 
back yet.  Anyhow, if he does get it back, he'll probably face 
repercussions over the lies he told in his books and the memory 
charms he used on unsuspecting wizards and witches, so maybe there's 
a reason he's recovering so slowly...  But yes, as a character, I 
think he's great fun and I'd be sorry if OotP was his last 
appearance.  Somehow I think he'll show up again too, maybe where we 
least expect it.

Cheers, Kim
