Dungrollin:
Argh... where to start?

1. Why did you tell Emerson and Melissa that Grindelwald was dead?
2. Why didn't Voldemort tell Snape to side-along apparate to 
Grimmauld Place with a gang of Death Eaters?
3. What was Wormtail doing at Snape's house at the beginning of Half-
Blood Prince?
4. Did Hermione ever lift the sneak hex from Marietta? 
5. Which teacher was married and why did you claim it was plot-
sensitive?
6. Why did you write in Quidditch Through the Ages that no wizards 
can fly without brooms unless their animagus form can fly?
7. How did McGonagall, Ron, Hermione, Hagrid and the Order react to 
the news that Snape wasn't a traitor after all?
8. Was it Harry's sacrifice (willingness to die) which made him able 
to block Voldemort's AK with an Expelliarmus, or was it the fact that 
he was the master of the Elder Wand?
9. What happened to Lucius and Narcissa and Umbridge?
10. At what stage in the series did you come up with the idea of the 
Deathly Hallows and the master of the Elder wand?
11. Harry can't be an auror, because he can't risk anybody else 
becoming the master of the Elder wand, so what was his job after 
Hogwarts?
12. What happened to the Defence Against the Dark Arts curse?
13. Why didn't it occur to Tom Riddle that other students must have 
found the Room of Requirement if it was full of their hidden 
possessions?
14. If DD planned to be the last master of the Elder Wand, why did he 
leave clues for Harry to unite the Deathly Hallows?
15. In the Hospital Wing at the end of Half-Blood Prince, why didn't 
it occur to Lupin or McGonagall that Snape might have repented over 
the death of Lily? Surely they were aware, like Lily's friends, that 
they'd been friends at Hogwarts?

I'll think of more, I'm sure.
