Favorite theories proved wrong

Alla:


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.

Lupinlore:

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Snape does end up being against
Voldy, for whatever reason.  <Shrug>  Not the big moral question at
stake, I think.

Let's see ... predictions that didn't come through?  Well, I thought
Harry's grief over Sirius and relationship with DD would be handled
in HBP with a great deal more sophistication and believability.  More
minor predictions were that DD would be the Half-Blood Prince, and
that Harry would get into Advanced Potions because Draco's poor OWL
showing would force Snapey-poo into more reasonable policies.


Carol:

who agrees with vmonte that people don't like unpalateable
truths and who expects a roar of outrage from the Snape haters
when Snape is revealed as DDM


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?



Lupinlore:

Well, as I said I think the fact of Snape being for or against Voldy,
or something in-between, is not the main moral issue that needs to be
addressed with regard to Snape's character.  His abuse of Harry, and
DD's apparent approval thereof, fills that role, I think.

But the revelation of Snape as DDM?  Depends on how it's done, I
suppose.  I agree that there are some DDM! plotlines that could
induce giggles, others that would induce howls, and still others that
would leave me rolling on the floor in serious danger of a hernia.
But, I didn't seriously injure myself guffawing in derision at
Harry's approach to DD in HBP (i.e. nothing at all to worry about, I
adore you, let's go get Voldemort!) so I doubt I'll need a surgeon
this weekend.


Lupinlore, who will put pads down for rolling on, just in case
