These days, it seems that I simply enjoy reading the messages and
theories of others, and only post when I am absolutely gob-smacked
by something Potter-related.  Or perhaps rather Potter-fan-related. 
Can 56% of Potter fans really be wrong?  Perhaps someone here at
HPfGUs can help me out.

Mugglenet (What?  I only read it for the caption contest...)
alerted me that new FAQ poll questions have been put up at
JKRowling.com.  

Here are the new questions:

- Will Harry continue to learn Occlumency, whether with Snape or
somebody else, in 'Half-Blood Prince'? (32% of votes)

- Is that the Pensieve on the U.S. cover, or something else? (11%)

- So how DO the members of the Order of the Phoenix communicate with
each other? (56%)

Here is my question:

What is wrong with this picture!!!  Who cares about the details of the
communication by members of the Order?!  OK - I do.  But not as much
as hearing JKR's comments on Occlumency.  With potential for
explanations - as in WHY yes or no.  And if no, what has changed? 
I.e., what was the point to begin with?  Plus, when does she EVER
offer to talk about Snape.

And we already KNOW how members of the Order communicate: via that
silver bird-looking (i.e. Pheonix-looking - as in Order of the
Pheonix) stuff that Dumbledore sent from his wand to summon Hagrid -
remember?  When he and Harry discovered the stunned Victor Krum in
GoF?  So, we already know.

Please, for the love of - something - can someone explain this to me?
   Or, at least, go vote for the Occlumency question?

Clearly over-reacting,
Ceasia
