Oh, gosh, I'm really jumping into this a bit late. I attribute this,
ironically, to the fact that HBP fell a bit flat for me and I have
begun to believe that JKR just may not be going in any particularly
meaningful direction...and so my TOC participation has fallen off
accordingly.  

I won't go into great detail, as I can see this topic has really been
making the rounds, but I will add my thought that, perhaps, we've
gotten a bit carried away with the speculation and analysis and have
forgotten that it may be, after all is said and done, just a
children's story.  Perhaps it's a bit premature, but maybe we need to
take a step back and realize that this story was originally conceived
by a young, first-time writer and the storyline has remained, as JKR
has indicated, largely unchanged.  How can that possibly compete with
the imaginations of millions of readers and thousands of creative
theorists?

That said, I have a few more issues that I would like to see cleared
up by the end of the series, which I haven't seen on "The List" as of yet:

*Who finds magic "late in life"?

*What were the "three times" James and Lily defied V.?

*What of Wormtail's life debt to Harry?

*What is behind the last Dept. of Mysteries door?

*Was Hagrid really buying Flesheating Slug Repellant in Nocturn Alley?

*Importance of Lily's/Harry's eye color.
