Iguana:
Actually, I was disappointed (and immensely releaved) that she didn't go
far enough in showing the loss of war. I'm sure there some people who
identified with or liked Dobby and/or Tonks enough for the point to be
driven home. But I think the story would have been more real if there
was a death that really hurt. Someone like Hagrid, Molly, or even Ron.
For having been in the middle of a war, the Order should consider
themselves lucky for having gotten of as easily as they did.
