I guess the title deathly hallows is a plural, so it would fit
perfectly about the founders of Hogwarts have something to do in
book 7, if not the founders then maybe all the ghosts in Hogwarts
will have a role in books 7 including those portraits, especially
Dumbledore. My favorite definitions of deathly that would have a
close fit to book 7 are ghostlike, ghostly & spectral. We'll not
find hallows in any dictionary, only hallow, that's why I guess the
title is in plural form. If the 4 founders and the Hogwarts ghosts
including all the portraits( especially of the dead headmasters)
will not play an important role in book 7, I would like to guess
that deathly hallows  would be the gryff sword & the cup of one of
the founder. I also love the suggestion of the other list members
that it have somtheing to do with the 2 halloweens, the past
halloween when Harry's parents and some muggles were killed and the
coming halloween. And if it's a place I think it would be the veil,
were Harry would journey which maybe because he he have a pure heart
would be able to go in and out of it without dying and of course the
locked room in the DOM.
Gee, looks like my thinking is so muddy. I hope anyone would be able
to make sense of it.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE. Merry christmas Tonks, I see you have
resurface from your deep secret mission?
