Carol, agreeing with Julie that JKR should leave the book
open-ended,answering all the questions necessary to the plot
(Snape'smotivations, the missing 24 hours, etc.) but allow 
her readers to imagine what happens afterward

Laurel:

Has JKR ever given any indication that the "missing 24 hours" 
are anything other than an error? I'm just wondering if this 
is one of those things (among many, probably) that fans think 
are vital to the plot but turn out not to be (like the Mark 
Evans thing).
