  <snip> Hogwarts has been so integral in the story to this point, I feel sure a lot of the action must take place there, even if Harry isn't a student. <snip>

  I have to agree.  I think the final will be at Hogwarts. Young Tom and Adult LV had a total obsession with Hogwarts. For whatever reason, the attachment is there for both parties.  Harry is finally "home" at Hogwarts as with Tom.  Both were taken from bad elements and brought to a place of security.

  <snip> My other concerns? If Harry's not at Hogwarts, what roles will Ron and Hermione 
  play? Fred and George were on the back burner in book 6, and I missed them. I don't think they can play a very big role in their joke shop, but I think the stories really need the humor they provide. This has been an ensemble cast from the start, and I hope it will continue to be, but the story seems to have Harry striking out on his own. I do look forward to seeing how the Dursleys, specifically Petunia, are handled. Throughout the books I've searched for just a smidgeon of sentimentality and love for her sister and nephew in her, but it just hasn't been there -- what she's done for Harry has been solely out of fear, I'm afraid. What could have made her so very cold?

  I think that all the main characters including Fred and George will come into play.  Never underestimate the inteligence of F and G.  They are brilliant and their "jokes" may be of tremendous help.  Just look at the (can't remember the name of the stuff) blackness making stuff that Malfoy used.  I am sure they will ahve something useful for HP to use.  

  I cannot wait to hear a bit of background on Petunia.  There has got to be more to the story than just Lily being a witch.  Maybe she flaunted it in front of Petunia.
