Cor what an ending! Didn't cry because I have no heart but I never thought I'd ever feel sympathy towards Draco Malfoy.

Hm. Harry's leaving Hogwarts to finish off Dumbledore's quest... Interesting...

Did anyone else think of Buffy when hearing the description of the Inferi?

I'm such a lazy bum. I've only read the first four chapters, and skimmed a few end chapters. ._.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cry:
This isn't real!! It's a figment of my sleep deprived brain!!! Snape didn't kill Dumbledore!!! It's a mass halutionation caused by those moth-things Luna was talking about!!!!! Gaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!! I had just started liking Snape and now this happens!!! That ...TRAITOR!!!!! That utterly dispicable and horrible $^$#^#$!!!! Dumbledore trusted him!! How low can one person get??
No!! It didn't happen!! It didn't happen!!!!!! :cry:
Except for the Lupin/Tonks and the Harry/Ginny and the Ron/Hermione. That happened, but Dumbledore's death didn't!!!

Curses to JKR for lying to us about the HBP. Or maybe she didn't lie, and it was Mugglenet that did... Meh.

Seriously, this just doesn't seem real. Part of me wants to read the book again to double-check and the other part of me knows I don't need to, because it really did happen.

Though, after several hours of imagining all the horrible things I would do to Snape, I wondered if he had turned traitor or if he'd been hoodwinking Dumbledore this whole time. I really think that there was a better reason that Dumbledore trusted him rather than that "sorry for that thing that happened to James and Lily" theory Harry has. So then, he must have turned traitor. So what drove him over? Dumbledore accepting Sirius back into the fold. Snape is a person that holds grudges for a very long time against people and even their offspring, as shown in the books. He isn't the type of person to forgive and forget easily and Sirius wasn't really helping either, because he's the same sort of stubborn git (waaah, I'm sorry Siri-chan!!!). Snape saw the return of his childhood tormentor as a kind of betrayal on Dumbledore's part. I think Harry's "special treatment" by Dumbledore and the "bullying" of Malfoy also contributed, but Sirius was the last straw, I think. Well, I hope I'm right, it makes him at least somewhat pitiable at least.
And speaking of pitiable... Poor Malfoy!!! I really hope they save him. :(

BTW, was Sirius's brother's middle name ever mentioned? >__>
(I asked first dangit!!! So nobody else take credit if what I'm thinking about is right!!!!)

And anybody notice how the book color was a kind of clue?

I still think that Voldemort will die of tooth decay next book. ;D

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:O:O:O:O:O:O:O:O:O :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

IT DOES HAVE SOME SYNONYMS.

Sorry but my favourite bit was when Trelawny called Firenze, Dobbin. I actually laughed out loud!

OOOH Theory!

And sorry if this has been posted, I didn't read the other thread.

So you know right before Snape kills Dumbledore, hw says comething like "Please Severus"...I dunno know the exact quote, go look it up. Anyways, could it be that Dumby was not begging Snape not to kill him, but infact begging him to kill him?

And then there's the Dumbledore-denial theory: Snape and Dumby both took Polyjuice Potion and so Dumby really killed Snape. :P

But really...this whole thing seems kinda fishy. Dumbledore made it REALLY REALLY clear that he could trust Snape with his, well, life. He had complete faith in Snape. And Dumbledore is no stupid guy. So with this whole Snape killing Dumby thing...a bit suspicious.

OH and are they going to have a portrait of Dumby in the headmaster's office?


I would post mroe stuff but I already did on another forum and I need my sleep...

Fantastic theory on why Snape acted as he did. Even if you don't agree, it's still a good read:

Twas a nice 9 hours straight. I've missed a concert and am decidedly hungry and I have a pretty crummy headache.

I actually don't have too many complaints, though I'll probably think of some once this damned headache is gone. I particularly liked how crazy Narcissa really is, as well as Malfoy's crying to Myrtle, it added a particularly expected twist to his character.


oh yes, uhm...Werewolf and a Metamorphmagus?

There's a whole new section of fanfictions I don't want to be near...
