I'm not as deep as thinker as the other people on this list, but I'll 
give some of my reactions as simple as they probably sound.

7. What did you feel as 17-year-old Harry put the snitch to his  
mouth and said the words, "I am about to die"? 

Marianne:  I was surprised at how direct that comment was.  How 
matter of fact it was.  I kept thinking he couldn't die. Age 17 was 
too young to be saying "I am about to die."
 
9. Did you find the interaction between Harry and his loved ones 
typical, particularly of interactions between himself and Sirius 
and Lupin?  Did you feel Sirius and Lupin acted in character in
this scene?  What about James and Lily?  Did they say or do 
anything that surprised you, given the little but important things
we knew of them previously?

Marianne:  I can only answer about Harry's parents.  James and Lily 
staying with him with him did not surprise me at all.  Given the love 
they have for Harry, especially Lily's love, it seems natural they 
would stay close with him.  
 
14.  What was your overall reaction to this chapter and all its 
events?

Marianne:  Simply put.  I cried through most of the chapter.  And no 
matter how many times I read and listen to that chapter I will always 
cry.
