Talisman: tsk, after all that work (this time not by me) there is 
just absolutely NOTHING to find in a Drooble's gum wrapper.

Part 3 of the lethal Mugglenet interview emerges.

Well, closer to home, it seems that no one has to carry the soul 
fragments anywhere.

"MA: Someone put it to me last night, that if Ginny, with the diary -

JKR: Harry definitely destroyed that piece of soul, you saw it take 
shape, you saw it destroyed, it's gone. And Ginny is definitely in 
no way possessed by Voldemort."

So, back to the drawing board.  But I tell you this:

1.a. DD killed Sirius in OoP. 
   b. Sirius volunteered to be killed. 
   c. It was important that Harry witness it.

2.a Snape killed DD
  b.DD orderd him to do it.
  c. It was important that Harry witness it.

In addition to al my guilty!DD posts, JKR has allowed that Sirius 
dies "for a reason,"  though she won't yet say what.

"Cookie246122: Why did you kill Sirius? It made me very sad :(

JK Rowling replies -> I'm really, really sorry. I didn't want to do 
it, but there was a reason. If you think you can forgive me, keep 
reading, you'll find out. [I feel really guilty now]."
(World Book Day Chat, March 4, 2004) 

In the Mugglenet interview pt 3, she explained:

"JKR: Right, well, that's what I believed. Sirius would have done 
it. He, with all his faults and flaws, he has this profound sense of 
honor, ultimately, and he would rather have died honorably, as he 
would see it, than live with the dishonor and shame of knowing that 
he sent those three people to their deaths, those three people that 
he loved beyond any others, because like Harry he is a displaced 
person without family." 

(Talisman: which helps explain why he would volunteer, in my theory)


Two agreed hits by Order members on Order members.  It's got to be 
tied to the Horcruxes and LV's defeat.  Nothing else would rate such 
action.

And further:

"MA: Here at the end you sort of get the feeling that we know what 
Harry's setting out to do, but can this really be the entire 
throughline of the rest of the story?

JKR: It's not all of it. Obviously it's not all of it, but still, 
that is the way to kill Voldemort. That's not to say it won't be 
extremely an torturous and winding journey, but that's what he's got 
to do. Harry now knows — well he believe he knows – what he's 
facing. Dumbledore's guesses are never very far wide of the mark. I 
don't want to give too much away here, but Dumbledore says, `There 
are four out there, you've got to get rid of four, and then you go 
for Voldemort.' So that's where he is, and that's what he's got to 
do."

Talisman: "...he believes he knows..."


Finally, re finding the Horcruxes:

"ES: It's a tall order.

JKR: It's a huge order. But Dumbledore has given him some pretty 
valuable clues and Harry, also, in the course of previous six books 
has amassed more knowledge than he realizes. That's all I am going 
to say."

[Talisman, we've seen them all!]

"ES: It seems like it would be impossible. If Harry had gone to the 
cave, he never could have done it on his own, it seems like. 

JKR: Well, I'm prepared to bet you now, that at least before the 
week is out, at least one of the Horcruxes will have been correctly 
identified by careful re-readers of the books. "


Talisman: This one IS the Hufflepuff Cup, disguised as the TR Trophy.

Talisman, saying: so everybody had the hots for Lily, eh?  

And, after her account of his childhood,  don't you just know James 
is the "pampered prince" DD disparages at the end of OoP?

One theory to rearrange, but at least Snape isn't doomed! Yeah!
