Betsy Hp:
Wishful thinking I'm afraid.  No healing for the WW.  Where Anne 
Frank was able to look at the world around her and think, "I know in 
my heart that people are good" (or words to that effect), JKR 
apparently looks at the world around her and thinks, "I know in my 
heart that a quarter of the people out there are evil, half of them 
are okay, and there's one quarter that's just unquestionably good."

It's an ugly view of the world in my opinion.  And it cumlminates in 
a rather ugly book with a rather ugly message.  Yeah.  I'm pretty 
much done with the series.
