THAT one coming!" 


Potioncat:
Snape's death, or rather, the manner of his death. Even as it was about 
to happen, I didn't catch on. I just knew he needed to get out of there.

On a different level, JKR managed to pull off the anticipated events in 
surprising ways. Nothing was quite as anyone wanted LOLLIPOPS wasn't a 
romance but a friendship. Harry did die, only he didn't.

> Snape being friends with Lily BEFORE Hogwarts. It certainly made a 
lot of sense in 20/20 hindsight, but I did not see that one coming at 
all. 


Potioncat:
The Lily-Severus pre-Hogwarts friendship will always be the one that 
got away. I worked it out shortly before DH came out, but I never 
posted it. I thought it worked, but that it was too far-fetched. Heck---
none of my other predictions even came close!
