It just seemed cruel and bad and wrong. You can say "life is like
that", but life doesn't have an author orchestrating it, upon whom it
is incumbent to provide some sort of texture and understanding.

Lynda:
No. It doesn't. But I'm not going to claim that to acurately depict the way
life is, with people dying needlessly and then not explaining it is bad
writing either. That's an accurate depiction of how things happen sometimes.
And as for not spending time explaining why, as far as I'm concerned there
was no need there either. Fred's death I understand. Tonks and Lupin, not so
much--I'm not convinced there is such a thing as a truly happy,
well-adjusted orphan, but I still think that she's a genius of a writer. No
one else out there right now is doing what she did...
