Oh-- that's interesting-- I assumed "oho" was a British saying or
something that I wasn't familiar with being an American (and thought
it was something they had left in the American books)-- but I notice
you are from the UK, so I assume you have the British versions of the
books.

I had not seen that expression prior to this book, and, now that you
mention it, not used by anyone but Slughorn...

You know, I had not bought the DD isn't dead thing at all for the
whole past week, but there are some things that are coming through
that makes me think it may be a possibility...

Then, of course there is the Katie Couric interview (which I kind of
dismissed because I think Katie Couric is a ditz and doesn't know how
to interview :-)), but JKR does say in that interview "I never SAID I
killed a major character in this book"-- I totally took it as
sarcastic, but I guess you never know with her!
