 neha:
  Yes, surely, but DD is after all a human; one who could afford to 
think that a boy's Godfather could have conspired to kill him and to 
let him rot in a prison for a good 13 years and one who could afford 
to keep 2 bitter rivals in constant company of each other so that 
one could insinuate the other to death... the point here is that DD, 
though perfect is still unable to change the way things shape up. 
Not many would be grieved in the wizarding world if DD could tell 
everything as it was going to be....and for a story as phenomenal as 
HP, the end should certainly be the best 'turn' in it yet.
  
  About JKR, I'd be out of my mind to say she isn't a good writer.
