Heee, well, there is a really big one that could be proven wrong for 
sure - that Snape is not DD!M, but see the funny thing for me is that 
I was never much of the theoriser. Oh do not get me wrong, I adore 
speculation and love reading about the wildest theories and 
speculations and do it so myself, but I always felt that my theories 
lacked imagination and.

Hmmm, trying to remember, what was something significant I really 
thought in advance was turned out to be true and did not.

More often than not I just wait for the author to tell me. Although I 
fee so sad that lacking imagination or not in four days speculation 
will end.


Oh, Oh, I used to believe that Snape was in Gryffindor with Marauders 
and that is how their hatred began. But this is more of events, not 
theory.

I also used to believe that the name Death Eaters would be connected 
in some spectacularly awesome way with ultimate mystery of the ending.

I also used to believe that Sirius will survive the ending. Ooops.

Alla:

Trying to imagine myself roaring in outrage if Snape is DD!M and 
bursting into giggles instead. Can we expect something if he is not?

Believe me, this Snape hater will laugh a lot if Snape is revealed as 
DD!M, but this is **all** you can expect from me.

Unless this would be accompanied by Harry's dying. If he is dead and 
Snape is alive, then YES I will be annoyed enough, but hopefully that 
will not happen.

Alla.
