I agree with the theory that the "you have your mother's eyes"
references are figurative, i.e. Harry sees the world in similar ways
to Lily.

I hope so, after all the hints Jo has dropped that H.E.'s are very, very
powerful.

I think he must enlist the aid of the Order.  I frankly can't see how
he can keep this secret and do it all on his own.

I've been wondering -- Is Snape going to take credit for finishing off
AD, or does the Unbreakable Vow oblidge him to cover for Draco?

I can't believe that Ginny's going to take Harry's "act of nobility"
lying down.

Preferably in excruciating agony.

Personally, I think we've seen the last of the Headmaster's Office.
An encounter with Dumbledore's portrait would undermine Jo's message
that death is permanent.  I think any further "help" Harry gets from
Albus will be through either pensieve memories or Aberforth.


a> More loose ends?

I still would like to hear Jo state once and for all that Mark Evans
and his dad "Perseus" are both false leads and as irrelevant as the
crumple-horned snorkack.
