I was totally crushed when Hedwig died.  I cried and cried, but from
a weird sort of standpoint I could understand it.
If we look at the name thing and see Hedwig as a symbol for St.
Hedwig, the patron St. of orphan children, then her 'death' could be
seen as one of the turning points where Harry becomes a man rather
then a child.

Please don't throw stones or sharp objects.  I'm going back to the
dungeon now.
