[snip] I think that the reason that JKR says that she is a series writer and not a single novel writer is because she wants time to explore each seemingly non-major character. 

Actually, Becky, Jo has stated in interviews numerous times that she views her books not as a series, but as just one continuous story.  But it would just be tooooo big to put the whole story into one book!

Although I do agree with you that she will eventually get around to exploring every character - just not as much as Harry and Co.  After all, they *are* the stars of the story!

And welcome to all of our newcomers!  My goodness, we're growing rather quickly! ;-)
