Potioncat:
Congratulations on becoming a grandfather!!!!!!
I'm impressed that with two teens in the house, you got any computer 
time at all.

Potioncat:
None of the shipping was of any interest to me at all and I'm still a 
bit surprised that JKR has so many characters match up in school. 
Luna's marrying later in life seems more on target than all these 
kids setting up housekeeping.

Potioncat:
I thought the whole Tower scene was a set up for Draco's redemption. 
DD's "mercy" speech made me feel guilty that I had only thought of 
Draco as a toerag and had never given any consideration to him. I was 
sure he would make an important change. DH left me conpletely 
confused about him. I don't think he knew which side he was on.
