Do forgive me if this topic has been thoroughly thrashed as the others here but am in just way too good a mood to pass up a dirge to the DH dead.

Dobby's death was profound for Harry.  I had expected Snape's death to have instigated that change in Harry but no, Snape was delegated a silent entry of sans grandeur or import, but of course he had to grasp at Lily before dying so that later when we review his memories we can gasp and see him for what he really was - a sicko twisted shadow of a man that tormented children and profferred a toddler and his dad as a sacrificial offering to Voldemort.

Lupin.  I knew all the Marauders had to die, that whole generation a cesspool Harry must learn to forget and only reminisce upon with the fondest of memories that James and Lily's fans left him.  What worried me though was that at the end of HBP Remus had acquired a love and soon to be wife.  I did not think for a minute a children's author would have the gumption to kill off a prospective husband let alone, husband, wife and father in law whoa!  I truly suspect considering the various transformations this hairy Marauder had endured that Rowling was steering him away from the Sirius/Remus issue of a few years back with the introduction of Tonks into his story - Tonks who was going to die anyway.  It worked out well, she introduced the partnering of patronuses and the changes one's patronus undertakes, their Teddy could be a Harry without saintly Lily's sacrifice, etc.  While it did work though it did not gel at least not for me...but then I am high on chocolate and I think I have merlot in the pantry lol.

Fred.  Well the Weasley's couldn't possibly escape unscathed, bye bye Fred, it's okay George is around to look like you, act like you...but you have to go because you had funnier lines okay?

Hedwig.  Well since Harry would commit suicide if the real Hagrid dies you might as well go especially since we have no room for you in Hermione's mobile library 

Colin Creevey!  His death really guts me!!!  I just have no words except what a brave Gryffindor, oh wait brave is Gryffindor.  Well even though you were in Gryffindor, Colin...requiescat in pace!
