bboyminn:

Interesting point about the Veil already being used, but JKR sometimes
slips something in, then seems to resolve it, only to have it appear
again. Although, I admit, it's usually something small. So, we must
ask, is the presence of the Veil in the last story, the whole story of
the Veil relative to Harry, or is it just the teaser? 

I say a teaser.
