Ceridwen, Not meaining to single out one post intentionally, but 
needing to ask this:

I'm not too up on the JKR interviews, but didn't someone mention her 
saying that books 6&7 are more like two halves of the same book?  
*If* so, then Harry would be expected to come out looking right 
in 'part 1', as he does in all the other books.  I was thoroughly 
convinced all through PS/SS that Snape was the villain, that it would 
be Snape in with the mirror, and to find Quirrell in there instead 
was, frankly, a surprise.  Finding 'Quirrellmort' was even more of a 
surprise, but explained away a some reasons Harry had for mistrusting 
Snape.

So, *if* this is more of a part 1 to a two-part climax, then wouldn't 
Harry be expected to be 'shown' how right he is?  This would be more 
of an even longer final book than GoF or OotP.  (Though I do agree 
with the idea that DD has to be alive, or it will definitely be the 
dock for Snape, no matter what the reasons)

I now return everyone to their scheduled programs.
