If Hagrid survives and marries Maxime, surely they'll live at
Beauxbatons? It's more important for a school (Beauxbatons) to keep
its Headmistress than for a school (Hogwarts) to keep its gamekeeper
and Professor of Care of Magical Creatures. Hagrid would never have
left Dumbledore, not even for love of Olympe, but Dumbledore is no
longer around.

final defeat >>

Are you predicting that the action of DH will occupy only Summer,
September, and October of 1997, or that Voldemort's final defeat is
only the middle of the book?

How can Harry teach NEWT-level DADA when he still needs to study for
his own NEWTs?

<< Harry will produce with Ginny Harry Potter Junior, although he will
not live to see the child. >>

Ginny's not the type to be without a man from age 18 to ... age 81
would be symmetrical. And she might well think that her baby needs a
daddy as well as a father. Who will be her second husband?

<< << We have to give Ginny the respect to accept her choice, and I

I apologize. I wasn't thinking of the current 16 year old Ginny when I
wrote that. My daughter will be 16 in a couple of weeks and what I
said absolutely wouldn't apply to her. Why I fixated on a hypothetical
older Ginny I don't know. >>

I suppose the theory is that just because a girl is only 16, she's too
young for her feeling for a man (even a very excellent young man like
Harry Potter) to be 'real love', and therefore she doesn't need a
'consolation' for his death. So she's too young for her own choice to
be accepted, let alone respected? On the one hand, I agree with that
when modern American society is concerned. On the other, [many]
parents want to protect their children from hardship, and being a
single parent *is* hard, and at what age would you or Molly Weasley
think she's old enough to make her own decision to get married and
pregnant with a man who has an incurable disease or has already been
assigned to a combat tour of duty in the military? Would 25 be old
enough? 30? 35? Or is the judgment is based solely on how much income
and health insurance her job provides?

He won't be with ALL his loved ones unless Hermione, Ron, and Ginny
also die.

Will not be specified >>

Herself is willing to answer wide-spread fan questions, even if they
aren't needed for the plot, such as telling us Lucius was 41 at the
beginning of OoP. So it should be easy enough for her to answer this
popular fan question even if not needed for the plot.

Snape's patronus is a leopard >>

Why a leopard? Has any leopard made an appearance in canon so far?

<< Snape's boggart is himself murdering Dumbledore. >>

Can one's boggart be something that has already happened? Boggarts are
supposed to frighten people, not 'merely' break their hearts, so if
Molly Weasley had seen the image of her dead brothers instead of her
dead children, she could have cried out: "They've been dead for
years!" rather than "Oh, no, it can't be!"

<< Alternate 1. What are Snape's patronus and boggert?
PATRONUS: STAG >>

I supposed (before having read your disclaimer) that a Stag Patronus
for Snape would have resulted from the tremendous relief he
unwillingly felt when the stag rescued him from the werewolf. That
requires, of course, that the Prank was before he learned the Patronus
spell. Just imagine him concentrating on his happy memory -- a top
mark on a paper, I guess, or Dumbledore praising him -- 'Expecto
Patronum!' and out from his wand bursts a big silver -- shit! who
wants to be reminded of such a humiliating rescue by such a loathsome
person! 

What happens when a person hates his Patronus?
