Spoiler Exhaustion: Must...keep...typing...spoilers...or...uhnnnhh..


Catlady:
I remain irritated at the Tonks red herring -- I really thought she was
someone else using Polyjuice and THAT was why the imposter couldn't
metamorphmage like she can; JKR can make excuses for her gloominess and loss
of abilities, but WHERE DID HER CLUMSINESS GO? Tonks can't walk down the hall
at 12 Grimmauld Place without tripping over an unbrella stand and wakening Mrs
Black, but she can jump off a moving train at Hogsmeade and land on her feet?

This was a DING! moment that went horribly wrong with that weak shippy
explaination. Consider that JKR had *just* posted her FAQ poll answer with the
specific phrase: "Patronuses are unique to each wizard". Nowhere does she say
"except when they fall in love". It does NOT compute, and I'm glad someone
else is jarred by it.


voicelady:
Because Dumbledore's not dead. Not really. He needed to have Harry *see* Snape
"kill" him. The ministry and the Order are now predispossed to believe Harry.
And then there was the whole very public ceremony of the funeral. *Everyone*
now believes that Dumbledore, the only wizard that Voldemort ever feared, is
dead. It also cements Snape in further with Voldemort. V will trust Snape even
more now. And Snape is still serving DD. I hate him, always have, but he is
one of the good guys. DD will still be running the show.

Whether DD is dead or not, he wanted Harry to see *something*, to witness. It
is puzzling that DD would knowlingly let Harry draw the *wrong* conclusion
about Snape (as he kept telling him through Books 1-6) again. If Snape is an
unwilling actor, what the dickens is the play DD wrote? The suggestion that DD
is feigning death or will somehow resurrect is a bit *too* allegorical for me.
I lean more to Kneasy's view; DD doesn't want Snape interrupted by Harry's
heroics and as a witness that the Ministry cannot impeach.

The Ministry is fascinating: JKR is clearly showing they're as power-hungry as
Voldemort, and as clueless about Harry. Like the wizard-in-the-street
perception about the Chosen One needs a rider of "and his GREAT PALS, the
Ministry of Magic" to save their collective cauldrons. I'm surprised they
didn't punish Arthur rather than promote him. How is Scrimgeour any more
capable than Fudge other than a stab at PR?


Joywitch:
I found a potential Flint in this scene, too.  Trelawney says that
she saw Snape come in.  That means that she was out of her trance --
therefore she had spoken the whole prophecy.  But if Snape was still
in the vicinity, doesn't that necessarily mean that Snape heard the
WHOLE prophecy?  We know that the person who told Voldie only heard
half of it.

Unless Snape is a Memory Modification in case anyone's looking? Which would
mean someone *else* was the eavesdropper. Let's see, who might be good at
that? Someone who thought it a good idea to keep Sybil at Hogwarts out of
harm's way? Someone like...Dumbledore?


Ginger, wondering How many horns can a Slughorn slug if a Slughorn
can slug horns.

The answer is, of course, Umbrage. I predict wedding bells.
