Mooommmmm, Harry's keeping me up again!


I've spent the past week obsessing about Harry, what was going to happen in Book 6, then reading Book 6, and now trying to guess what will happen in Book 7.  And now I can't sleep, because I'm trying to figure out anagrams for new characters....or maybe it was all that caffiene at work...might be that too.
To start:
The only character with the initials R.A.B - at least RB - is Sirius' brother Regulus Black, who as far as I can remember, has a shady history with Voldemort, and ended up dying at his hand.   Lot we don't know about him, plus, in Book 5, there is a mention of a heavy locket that cannot be opened that is found while cleaning the house.  This definitely has to be the Horcrux in question..and then we find out Mundungus has stolen stuff from the house - it's gold, and shiny, so chances are good he's picked it up.
The locked door in the department of Mysteries + the vail that Sirius falls through are likely to mentioned in greater depth.  My guess is one of the Horcruxes is behind the locked door.  We've got the cup, the snake, and something of Griffyndoors/Ravenclaws to choose from.
I agree with Anne now, that Snape is definitely not on Voldemort's side - Dumbledore's last "Severus" could be taken as telling Snape not to give up his cover, Snape didn't actually hurt Harry, and he had plenty of opportunity to at least drag Harry back to Voldemort.  There is also his 'lifedebt' to James Potter that we may consider unfulfilled, perhaps part of why Dumbledore consistantly trusted Snape.  Anyway we look at it, we will definitely find out more about Snape in Book 7-->
I also really like this take on the prophecy, that JKR has stated was worded "very carefully":
The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches
Born to those who have thrice defied him,
Born as the seventh month dies,
And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal,
But he will have power the Dark Lord knows not
And either must die at the hand of the other
For neither can live while the other survives.
The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...
Now when you read this prophecy, it seems like it's only speaking about two people. HOWEVER, if you read a bit closer, it could possibly be about 3 people. My meaning:
-yes, Harry's parents defied Voldemort 3 times
-yes, Harry was born at the end of July
-and yes, Voldemort marked Harry as his equal
Here's where the third person comes in:
-'But HE will have the power the Dark Lord knows not' leading me to the meaning that HE is the 3rd person and this 3rd person may be the Half-Blood Prince.
-'And either must die at the hand of THE OTHER' meaning that 'THE OTHER' must kill Harry or Voldemort
-'For niether can live while THE OTHER survives' meaning that both Harry and Voldemort cannot live at the same time as 'THE OTHER'. It will have to be Harry or Voldemort who can live while 'THE OTHER' is alive.

Ok, that was probably wayyy to much about Harry Potter in one sitting.  Maybe I can get to sleep now...

Grrr. I refute your Snape-hating ways!! I love Dumbledore, but there's no way Snape could have completely turned over. He was a spy for the Order long before Voldemort died the first time, yo...notice he never mentions that to Bellitrix. :P

Dude, there are so many places the book can go. What about multiple books? Do you think JK will extend the series? I mean, she said one for each year of school-- what if there is no school next year? And then what of Malfoy? Personally, if Snape is the evil one, I think Draco will take him down in the end. Draco is just lookin' out for the family. When his family is gone, he won't need to serve the dark lord. He'll rock out with Harry Potter like everyone else sweeter than life.

... I could go for hours.

Love.

The locked door in the department of Mysteries + the vail that Sirius falls through are likely to mentioned in greater depth. My guess is one of the Horcruxes is behind the locked door.

Ding! Thanks for playing. Dumbledore says that they study love behind the locked door. Is there a less likely place for Voldemort to hide a horcrux? I'm thinking he didn't get around to making the 6th one. He seemed to like using important murders to make them, so odds are he was planning to use Harry's death to make the final one. However, he didn't kill Harry and, being nearly killed himself, didn't have a chance to make it.

The Veil is just representative of death, as "crossing the veil" is just an old euphemism for dying. I don't think we're going to hear much more about Sirius, though it grieves me to say it. He served his purpose as a character, and Harry seems to be pretty well done angsting over his death. There will be so much to cover in the next one that I don't think JKR will spend time on him, except perhaps in conjunction with revealing information about James.

Here's where the third person comes in:
-'But HE will have the power the Dark Lord knows not' leading me to the meaning that HE is the 3rd person and this 3rd person may be the Half-Blood Prince.
-'And either must die at the hand of THE OTHER' meaning that 'THE OTHER' must kill Harry or Voldemort
-'For niether can live while THE OTHER survives' meaning that both Harry and Voldemort cannot live at the same time as 'THE OTHER'. It will have to be Harry or Voldemort who can live while 'THE OTHER' is alive.

o_0 Interesting, but I'd guess it's only slightly more likely than Hermione and Draco adopting Dobby and eloping to Canada. Plus, Snape? Did this girl came up with this before Snape was revealed to be the HBP? Plus all three of them are alive at the same time... If these capitalizations were exactly the same as the emphases in the book, it would have a case, but I don't believe this is so.

what does hbp stand for? and i think snape is full of hate and therefore evil. EVIL!
thank you.

hbp = Half Blood Prince. I agree that Snape is as hateful as just about any character we've seen. However, not all bad people were DEs, as GoF showed.
