I think DD does believe LV will continue to seek the wording of the 
prophecy.  That is why when Umbridge sacked Trelawney and tried to 
remove her from the castle, DD stepped in and insisted she remain at 
the castle to live.

I would agree that LV will try to get to Trelawney.  I think an 
attempt by LV and the DE to gain access to if not outright take over 
Hogwarts will be part of the second War.

JKR has indicated that books 6 and 7 could be one large book (huge 
paraphrase!).  I'm wondering if that doesn't mean that the climax the 
whole septology starts at the end of book 6 and continues into book 7.

moondance, new here and enjoying it, but having a hard time keeping 
up!
