Antosha:

I'll buy that. ;-)

But also Luna. And Neville. And possibly some of the other DA members and Weaselys and 
Order folk. As I've pointed out here before, I think that's part of the point of the expansion 
of Harry's core group in OotP. To make Harry's reliance on Ron and Hermione less... 
precious. 

To coin a Tolkienian phrase.

I don't see Harry choosing to loose his memory, like the Tommy Lee Jones character in 
Men in Black. The WW is too much his home, in a way that the Muggle world has never 
been...
