Hi Annemehr. Out of curiosity what other reversals do you expect in 
book 7 ? You are not talking about Snape by any chance? ;)

I mean Snape of course can turn out to be DD!M ( Oooops, did I say 
it out loud?), but would it be a reversal, really?

I mean, to me of course he is a really bad guy, really really bad 
guy, but I can certainly see a possibility of him being a bastard 
who is loyal to Dumbledore due to all those possible hints discussed 
here multiple times that do not need to be said again :)

Didn't JKR left enough ambiguity in the text to let it go either way 
without looking as complete reversal?


Or are you talking about other characters? I mean ESE!Lupin would 
obviously be a complete reversal of the character, if you are buying 
that one, but is there another character you have in mind?

Thanks,

Alla
