Jen: The tower without an explanation is like Crouch Jr. without the 
Veritaserum, Peter without the Shrieking Shack, the Prophecy without 
the...OK, bad example. I was floored with BANG from the tower, I 
just want the rest of it. It may or may not have an ending I like 
better but at least it will be complete. That's not asking so much, 
is it?!? It doesn't seem like denial or wishful thinking so much as 
noticing there's an awful lot JKR left to the imagination in HBP: 
How does the DADA curse *work*? Now that Dumbledore is gone who is 
going to Explain Things? Was Snape lying at Spinner's End, telling 
the truth, telling the partial truth, making it up as he went 
along....? Where in the heck was that Phoenix who is always in the 
right place at the right time? What was going on with Dumbledore in 
the cave and was that green goo killing him or ?? Why did he 
urgently demand Harry get Snape then freeze Harry before he could 
leave?  And on, and on.....

Jen R., who just wants the friggin' explanation handed to her on a 
silver platter so she can make peace with whatever outcome JKR has 
in mind.
