> Maybe that's the point -  mystery adds to suspense, doesn't it? Harry 
doesn't know at the beginning what the creatures in the lake are, he 
thinks "of water monsters, of giant serpents, of demons" etc. Maybe JKR 
doesn't want *us* to know either, that's why DD doesn't explain what 
the things in the water are. 

Tiffany:

Mystery & suspense are practically like peanut butter & jelly in 
writing, esp. in fiction.  The whole reason why the creatures in the 
lake scene in the book was so scary when I first read it is because we 
don't know what's in there, so we're forced to kind of speculate on 
what could really be in there.  JKR could want us to speculate on 
what's really in the lake & what the creatures themselves truly are 
instead of knowing for sure.
