Lupinlore:
   
But, most of all, I think we need a LOT better discussion of 
these issues on JKR's part.<
  
Pippin:
Nothing would justify bombarding a child with radiation and 
feeding him poison  till he was constantly nauseous and his hair 
fell out --unless you were trying to stop a cancer from coming 
back. I think we just need to be convinced that Voldemort 
returned is as lethal as Dumbledore says he is. 
 
If Trelawney's second prophecy is to come true, there shouldn't 
be a problem. 
 
 
Alla:


I don't need to be convinced that returned Voldemort is lethal. I 
mean, stronger depiction of him as Big Evil wouldn't hurt, IMO, but I 
get that what is JKR trying to do with Voldie. I'll suspend my desire 
to laugh sometimes and accept that he is to be feared. :)

Personally I need to be convinced that Dumbledore was SURE that 
Voldemort is coming back one day - MAYBE is not good enough for me, I 
am afraid.
I also need to be convinced that Harry could not be touched by DE on 
Privet Drive and I am not entirely convinced on that matter either.

I definitely need to be convinced that Dumbledore's interference with 
Dursleys would have been lethal for Harry  and for Harry only.
I most certainly would not have think of Dumbledore as less moral 
person if he would interfere.


So, yes, I would like much better discussion of those issues.
 
I certainly hope that Dumbledore and Harry will have MANY talks in 
HBP, not only at the end of the book.

JMO,
 
Alla.
