Welcome to Gaia! ::

Anything and everything about book seven, huh? Okay...Voldemort dies. Snape dies (double-crossing, murderous, slimey, bird-beaked, snake-tongued excuse for a human being!). Harry lives (hopefully). Uhm...I'm done. Can't think of anyone else in particular right now.

I've never heard anyone refer to Voldemort as "Voldie" before..

but anyways, I think that Snape is really on our side, that is to say, Harry's side. I don't think that any wizard, no matter how powerful, could have duped Dumbledore into believing he was no longer a servant of Voldemort when he really was. I think, that Dumbledore told Snape, that if remaining in the Order of the Phoenix as a double-agent, and keeping the dark side convinced of his loyalty, he could kill him in the worst of circumstances..But at the same time, I know that Snape needn't have killed Dumbledore..No one was forcing him to.

But it just seems to me, that Dumbledore was the wizest wizard in the world, and how could someone like Snape truly dupe him?
I mean, Dumbledore always was saying how totally and completely Snape had his trust, but for reasons he wouldn't tell? I think that there was something we don't know about that assured Dumbledore of Snapes loyalty.

That's a nickname many HP fans have for Voldemort. I guess it shows his 'soft side'.. I share soo many of your views. I don't think Dumbledore would be bale to get lied to. He believed in Love, Voldie didn't. Snape was in love with Lily, and that was enough to convince Dumbledore of his true alligiance. Voldie is ignorant of love, so he wouldn't see it if it popped up in his face a million times. Why else would Snape had made the Unforgivable Vow? Voldie was his master. As a Death Eater he didn't care who he killed or whatever. He had a soft spot that did not want to see Narcissa hurt, or Draco dead.

I just posted that in the RAB thread. I think it's interesting the whole RAB thing. Sirius (confirmed) is coming back in some form, so I think he'll hold some information about his brother.

I hate the fact the book is soo short. It seems like everything will be thrown together!

Snape is certainly out for himself. And I think that he thinks Voldemort will win,so he made the final step and killed Dumbledore...Effectively turning him bad.

As for life and death. As JKR said,two characters will die that weren't suppose to,and one will not die that she had planned on dying. So who?

I think that it will take witnessing murder to truly turn Draco to the good side. Who's murder? Hagrids! Possibly in a large,middle-of-the-book conflict,Hagrid will die trying to save Draco,who was dragged along by the Death Eaters. He will be shaken (Though he never liked Hagrid and Hagrid never liked him,I think Hagrid would still try to save someone he thinks is innocent)....Voldemort will not truly die. He will choose to be a ghost,which is the ultimate damnation for him. What can you do as a ghost? You can haunt people. Annoy them. For someone as evil and ill-natured as Voldemort,I don't think he would even bother. So...He would get to spend all eternity alone,unable to do something as simple as read a book. Awesome,he deserves it for killing James (I love James...)....

That was definetely original. Hagrid saving Draco is humorous!

I was thinking more like Ron saving Draco after everything Draco said about Ron's family.

I wonder how Percy fits in. I know he dies but I wonder how!

Ok, my predictions:

-Voldie dies, Harry Lives'

-Snape=Bad

-Snape liked Lily

-Draco turns good and helps Harry but dies in the process

-Hagrid dies helping thr Order

Couples:

-Harry/Ginny
-Ron/Hermione
-Remus/Tonks
-Draco/Pansy
