Finwitch:

Yes - I'd like to hear the background stories too. We *still* need to
hear the full story about Sirius16 telling Snape how to pass the
Whomping Willow! The Sirius' version, that is. And, just *what* was
the thing that got Sirius so very against "Snivellus?" I presume he'd
been reliving that for 12 years, but... what *was* it?

And, I also wish to hear something about Dumbledore's childhood
(Aberforth telling Harry? But that guy doesn't seem to be talking much
at all).

And yes, the ever mysterious Severus Snape. Can you believe it? He
kills Albus Dumbledore, and *yet* we cannot be certain if he's good or
evil?!?

Harry will be officially adult in the next book (Ron & Hermione are
already) so er - should we consider them as 'adult characters' from
now on?
