********To me, Spinners End sounds more like the chapter in which 
Cornelius Fudge finally makes a public display of 'foot-in-mouth 
disease'...  What has the Ministry been doing lately, even after 
they went public on Lord Thingy's return?  They have been 'spinning' 
the news, trying to look good even though they were in bad shape... 
Jo told us that Fudge will be replaced, she was very sure of it ages 
ago, like she had written that chapter, proofed-read it and given it 
the 'OK, to go' green light... Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if 
Spinners End chapter is when we see Fudge (and maybe Percy?) 
spinning out of the Ministry, in a manner of speaking.

As for Felix Felicis, those are latin terms related to 'happy' not 
cats.  Like you, I first thought that it could very well be the name 
for the new DADA teacher, but chapter 14 is much too late to 
introduce a new teacher, unless Book 6 has the longest Summer break 
in all the HP books... I guess anything could be plausible, even 
that Felix is the half blood prince, but we'll just have to wait...
