Potioncat:
As if Snape didn't already have a difficult enough time that year as 
it was. How could he have protected Harry from LV?

Then again, I wouldn't have killed Hedwig, Dobby, Lupin, Tonks, 
Moody, Fred or Snape. Wouldn't have been much of a book.

One of the best moments reading DH with my son was just after we 
discovered Colin Creevey had died. "Wasn't he Muggleborn?" I asked.

My son thought a moment, "Hey, he shouldn't have been at Hogwarts! 
Just, think, if J. K. Rowling had a better memory, Colin would still 
be alive today."

OK, no more sweet, reading with my son stories.  ;-)
