David:
Well, I can think off a number of times where G is portrayed in a
positive light (befriending Luna and Neville come to mind). I'm
betting JKR would be surprised some us of think she didn't develop
the relationship well. So, I don't agree with your theory as to she
did it intentionally.
It just seems to me JKR was bound and determined to write a shorter
book. IMO, especially the last few chapters seemed to be 'rushed'.
You would think with all the sub-plots and unanswered questions,
each book would be larger than the previous.
Book 7 especially would have to be larger to tie up all the loose
ends. If she handles the final battle between HP and V-man as she
did the H-G romance (what romance?), it would take place in a page
or two. Basically it will go like, HP and V-man would meet at GH (no
idea how they got there). HP will drop his wand and run up and plant
a big sloppy one on V-man's cheek and say I love you man. V-man will
melt like the wicked witch of the west. Then happiness forever
after. One page, maybe two ought to do it.
