  I am so greatly relieved that Harry made it through. I think my fingernails just about survived 
to last Saturday! I hope that all members of the IWHTLC will agree with me in declaring the 
21st July a public holiday.

I am left breathless by the book but we must remember the words of the Duke of Wellington 
about Waterloo that it was "a damned close-run" thing. We lost a lot of good people... I 
wonder whose loss affected you most?

  I cried for pages over Dobby.  The respect that all around gave to him was heartbreaking.  But I think that the death of Snape, though I expected it, affected me the most.  I *needed* some kind of reconciliation between he and Harry.  I think I would have coped better if Snape had called Harry ... Harry.  Something to show that he was looking at Harry as someone other than his father -- who Snape understandably didn't like too much.  Just my opinion...
