Well, the idea that the seven books are following the seven PS/SS
tasks is still working out beautifully (logic! potions! and Snape!),
so besides what you just said, I'll be looking for mirrors, heart's
desires, and brilliant ideas of Dumbledore's.

You've already brightened mine!  I was sorting through Harry posts for
the catalogue, slogging through unimaginative SHIPping posts and I
forget what else (definitely a low point in HPfGU, Harry-wise) when
suddenly, the skies cleared, the sun came out, and the next post was
Spy Games!  It slowed me down quite a bit, though, because I had to
read them leisurely--ly (in a leisurely manner :P).
