The thing about Austen's Frank Churchill/Jane Fairfax plot twist that
made it so successful is there was just enough in canon, so that when the
truth was
revealed it was easy for Emma to connect the dots. Emma was being
deliberately mislead
by Churchill, and Jane was cooperating in the deception. I would expect an
Emma-like
twist to the HP series would involve a long time deception by people close
to Harry.

Oh, is that it? See, that was no surprise to me at all. I saw it from the
beginning of the book (without having been briefed on the book, read in
synopses, etc.). The way it was written I knew what was going on in the plot
and was really at a loss as to why Emma couldn't figure it out because it
was so obvious to me. As I said before, its made Emma my least favorite of
Austen's works.
