Hi All,

While we're hash over old predictions, I am pleased with my thoughts 
about Dumbledore as John the Baptist:

I'm certainly wide of the mark, but there is something in this 
passage that makes me think about Snape's unbreakable vow to Narcissa:

"But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced 
before them, and pleased Herod. Whereupon he promised with an oath to 
give her whatsoever she would ask. And she, being before instructed 
of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger. 
And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them 
which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. And he 
sent, and beheaded John in the prison." (Matthew 14:6-10)

The match isn't perfect, Salome's involvement was very different to 
Malfoy's, but there is something there.

Cheers,

Dumbledad.
