Alla:

I snipped rather arbitrarily, since I was not sure to which point 
exactly I am replying. 

Of course if I thought that no attention would be given to the 
fallen, I would be upset. But I guess it was a clear implication to 
me that equal attention would be given in mourning all those who are 
lying in the Great Hall.

I guess I did not need to see that, to me the scene that I saw 
implied it, if that makes sense. I guess I did not think she glossed 
over it at all.

But yes, I can again only second Pippin I AM sorry that you are 
dissapointed and to me it is the contrary, the more I talk about it 
the happier I became with the book.

Time to agree to disagree I suppose.
