Speaking of which, have you seen this?<BR/><BR/>http://www.eosdev.com/Illustrations_Quotes/Cyndi/Rickman.htm <BR/><BR/>Too funny. <BR/><BR/>I never thought the "Snape liked Lily" thing really played out, but the the life-debt thing does. <BR/><BR/>I've wondered about the timing of Snape's DE rehab, though. Was he "state's" all along or did he turn once James and Lily died? <BR/><BR/>Unless Snape knows the whole prophesy (which he doesn't if Dumbledore is to be believed), he wouldn't know that he can't be the one to kill Harry. I think he could have killed Harry, if he wanted to, once he knew that Voldemort was back.<BR/><BR/>I've got more pet theories, but I'll stop right there. <BR/><BR/>I got the fever!!EKBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02694786491654990685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-1170786704948579602007-02-06T13:31:00.000-05:002007-02-06T13:31:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.EKBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02694786491654990685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-1170566403406780752007-02-04T00:20:00.000-05:002007-02-04T00:20:00.000-05:00Oh my God, first this post then a good couple of h...Oh my God, first this post then a good couple of hours lost over at Mugglenet. The fever has started burning in me again! And I have to wait till July. Nooooo!<BR/><BR/>I want Dumbledore to be right about Snape too. I think I will be crushed if it turns out Snape really is evil. Crushed.<BR/><BR/>And I want that feisty clever little red-headed Ginny Weasley to really kick ass/arse in this next one, and then ride off into the sunset on a broomstick with Harry. Ginny rocks.

I have huge arguments with my one friend, who says "it was mainly an administrative book, you know to get all the characters set and ya da ya da."

"dead". But I also think the phoenix thing can't be ignored. Just like Gandalf and Obi-Wan's examples can't be ignored. I believe there's more to Dumbledore than anything that might come from his portrait in the headmaster's (or headmisstress's) office.<BR/><BR/>And we'll find out in fewer than six months! :-)<BR/><BR/>BB: Yes, I agree that Harry was a PITA in OotP, but I have learned that many people younger than we are--who were much closer to Harry's age at when they read the book--ADORE OotP, because they could really identify with Harry's angst and outbursts. Just saying.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I love you too. :-)Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03753481035768736548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-1170299982815681862007-01-31T22:19:00.000-05:002007-01-31T22:19:00.000-05:00Not enough bandwidth to do this justice.Will cogit...Not enough bandwidth to do this justice.<BR/><BR/>Will cogitate.<BR/><BR/>-J.Jokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672407657347134623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-1170294096297032522007-01-31T20:41:00.000-05:002007-01-31T20:41:00.000-05:00also, can I just say - I LOVE YOU.(It was the off-...also, can I just say - I LOVE YOU.<BR/><BR/>(It was the off-the-cuff Chekhov reference.)BabelBabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00467487618830618571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-1170293902077667742007-01-31T20:38:00.000-05:002007-01-31T20:38:00.000-05:00I am wholeheartedly onboard Gina's phoenix theory;...I am wholeheartedly onboard Gina's phoenix theory; it makes so much sense.<BR/>The fundamentalists are gong to have a FIELD DAY with that, though.

It would be such a cop-out if Snape turned out to be totally bad. It would destroy every shred of respect I've ever had for the series. He can die, I could accept that. Like the t-shirt says, Trust Snape.<BR/><BR/>I definitely need to do a reread before the next one comes out, I'm all fuzzy on details. I am, by the way, hold #59 for book seven at my library - we've got a HP geek in network who puts it in the catalog as soon as a title is announced.
