Jul. 17th, 2005 05:08 am1. So Book Six can be translated to Harry Potter & Severus Snape, then?
Huh.
2. If what Harry wishes/expects at the end of Book 6 comes to pass, then book seven is "post hogwarts" and it'll turn out I was right in saying that I didn't ship any of the trio with anyone else of the trio at Hogwarts. Again, huh.

But there's no sense arguing this point, given that JKR will definitely address it one way or the other in the next book.
makes one think she was thinking the fans would try such mental loopholes, and she's trying to smash them.
My experience with the fans is that they are wonderfully capable of ignoring even the biggest loopholes.
The fourth book's entire plot, for instance, requires Crouch to be borderline retarded, and never realize he can simply ask Harry to touch a portkey the first day of school. The fans barely scratched that problem.

How do you come by that theory? Other than Fawkes, of course, but for Fawkes resurrection is natural -- for humans it is not.
