First of all, I'm glad it's now 1 a.m. and I can post again, though I 
don't imagine using up any more of my posts in the near future.

Secondly, and the important stuff, is... SNAPE'S AK ATTACK ON 
DUMBLEDORE WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL.  For evidence, I recall the deaths we 
have seen from AKs: Cedric, the three Riddles, the Riddle's gardener 
(GoF), and DD.  I exclude the Potters and others because we don't 
have accurate after-the-fact accounts.  In the first three cases, 
five deaths, all victims were completely unharmed.  In fact, the 
Muggle police examined the Riddles and found nothing wrong with 
them.  Cedric and the Gardener (whose name escapes me) instantly 
dropped dead.  DD was blasted from the top of the Astronomy tower.  
Wait, excuse me?  All the others were completely unharmed by the 
spell, except for the simple fact that they died, instantly.  DD, on 
the other hand, recieved a massive trauma and was thrown outward, and 
then dropped to the ground.  This leads me to believe that Snape was 
unable to form a proper AK spell, because he honestly did not want 
to.  Since we know that unsuccessful spells usually only make a 
partial effect, think about the numerous Transfiguration classes, 
Snape did not have what was required to kill DD.  We know that 
someone must hate and want to cause pain for a Crucio spell to work, 
and I believe that the other Unforgivables are similar in nature.  
One must want to control someone else entirely for Impervius to work, 
and for the victim to actually die for the AK.  When fake!Moody 
encouraged the class to use AK spells on him, he said he expected no 
more than a nose bleed.  Since Snape is much more powerful, and 
NEEDED DD to die (even if he didn't want it), he caused considerably 
more damage.  If Snape was ESE or even playing both sides, as so many 
of you expect, why wasn't he able to kill DD properly?  Because Snape 
is on the 'good' side after all.  How he will be useful, or convey 
that to the OotP/Harry, I have very little idea.  I am not writing 
the books, and do want to hear some of JKR's fabulous ideas to work 
this out in HP7.

If you managed to make it through all of that without throwing up, 
this might just do the trick.

It is very unlikely Fawkes will come to be with Harry, much like 
Kreacher did, since Fawkes had ample time to return to him after DD's 
death and did not do so.  Unless, of course, Fawkes has some other 
duty to preform first, and will return later.  I do think it's 
likely, however, Fawkes will turn up at the Final Showdown, if not 
sooner.

Many people dislike the seemingly sudden relationship between Harry 
and Ginny, but it's not so surprising and far-fetched.  Ginny has 
become increasingly important and part of the group, ever since she 
hid behind Mrs. Weasley at the train station in SS/PS, to he CoS 
involvement (key player, but minor in book), to MoM/DA, etc.  I think 
it's wonderful how JK managed to slowly increase her importance 
throughout all the books, and land her in one of the few logical 
relationships left, unless you H/Hr's want to leave Ginny and Ron out 
in the cold.  Of course..... ew, no, that stops there.

Finally, some of you thought suddenly falling for Ginny is very 
unlikely.  Some of you are also not quite the same age as Harry 
anymore, are you?  I happen to be 18, and had a girl in four of my 
classes at school, when suddenly, after six months, I crushed on 
(fell for, whatever you want to call it) her, for no reason.  It can 
happen.



     Tone, who after all that realizes it is nearly 2 and took him 
about half an hour to write this.
