First of all, of course you are unique, we all are ;-)

Second, dumbbell? Not hardly! This is one of the most closely guarded
secrets in Potterdom. Harry's fate has been extremely well camouflaged
and there is no shame in getting it wrong. You were willing to go into
the ring and test your strength against a wily opponent. Even if you
come out bloody and defeated Teddy Roosevelt would be proud of you.

I suspect that most of us don't want Harry to die and so would rather
not agree with you. I think most would agree that Harry might die. The
author has made the apparent odds as close to 50-50 as she humanly
could so most of us are going with our hearts and saying he won't die.

I'm not sure what to make of you lot who have your treacle tarts,
butterbeer, and crackers ready for the big party on poor Harry's grave....
