Oh I *see*. You're worried she might just pull something out of the
hat that hasn't been foreshadowed? Could be. She might, indeed. I
prefer to theorise under the delusion that she's got something
clever up her sleeve, and that she plays by at least some rules
though. :D

 Snow:

Well yes, and no! She will pull something and it will be 'legit' in its own
way. Let's take the currant situation with the secret keeper dilemma as an
example of what I'm trying to say. We now know the rules of the secret
keeper and what happens to the secret but… oh yes but... she through in that
variable again. The difference with Pettigrew/Sirius secret keeper is that
it was a switch. Sirius was the secret keeper for x amount of time but
switched to Pettigrew… whole different ball game. We don't know what
information Sirius could have passed to the Order before the switch let
alone what happens after. Is Sirius (or any information he passes
along) cancelled out of the equation after the switch … we can't know for
sure?



This is the type of arena I'm talking about with JKR's unique way in which
to cover her self. Everything you need is there to figure it out but
obscured at the same time.  I don't see it being underhanded anymore than I
saw many other of her plot twists to be so. It will all fit in the end but
you must keep your eyes open for the variables  ;)
