 Interesting! I thought the foreshadowing was the protective actions 
 of Snape towards HRH you mentioned. And possibly Lupin's warm words 
 with respect to Lily!

 Also...Fred's (George's?) comment to Ron (paraphrased): "Let's walk 
 you off the astronomy tower and see how you feel?"
 
 The line that REALLY gave me chills was from Lupin to Snape (in the 
 shrieking shack): "Severus, please."  *shiver shiver*
 
 And of course there was the little tidbit with Hermione grabbing 
 Ron's hand. :)

  And how about this for foreshadowing -- from CoS first chapter... 
Harry and the Dursleys are having breakfast. Dudley says "I want 
more bacon"... there are some smarmy comments from Petunia and 
Vernon about Big D. Then  Dudley turns to Harry and says "Pass the 
frying pan"
 "You've forgotten the magic word," said Harry irritably.
Then ensues a major uproar about Harry saying the "m" word in the 
Dursley house. And what "magic" word do you think Harry was trying 
to remind Dudley of .... why the word "please" of course! In polite 
society when one is asking for something one says "please". And it 
is also interesting to me that Dumbledore who is, IMO a true 
gentleman, rarely uses the word "please". As Headmaster he doesn't 
need to be courteous in giving his staff directions though he 
definately is... but he does not use the word *please* unless the 
person he has requested something of has protested or tried to argue 
or he thinks he or she might some how not want to do as he requests- 
or the request is of utmost and urgent importance. Dumbledore seems 
to use this particular word sparingly to underline that when he does 
use it he really means business. And that this particular request, 
no matter how politely phrased, is more on the order of a command.  

Deb - politely submitted for consideration
