I love all the stories that people have written and hoped to happen. But i do hope that DD is dead for real. and Snape is EVIL. I was going to write my own but i forgot to. Actaully i was going to make the movie of it.

When Dumbledore died I did think of that - Harry being able to contact him through the portrait - but for some reason that story is bit far-fetched. Didn't Harry say he wasn't going back to Hogwarts? And I think it will end with Voldemort and Harry both being killed. I think that they will have to even out something.

Gooday to you all.

Ginevra Potter: Great story!

Here's what I think:

I think Dd is dead , and Snape is evil. I think both Harry and Voldemort will die! I've always thought that they're sort of connected? In a weird way, but still. I really hope that Ron and Hermione will get together I'm not sure that Ginny and Harry will.. Harry seemed very sure, that he did the right thing (breaking up). But it's JKR and anything can happen! We'll just have to wait and see!

~Chica

I hope that Harry does not die. After all the great trials and tribulations he has suffered, he deserves a long and happy life. It would be unfair if he had to die simply because he was chosen by a madman to be his enemy.

Chica; im so glad you think snape is evil! no offense to anybody, but we are like, the only ones who think he is. (if anyone else thinks hes evil,YAY!!!)

anyway, i dont think harry deserves to die either, but a lot of brave and noble people died for us when they didnt deserve to die. i would hate to see him die, and i hope he doesnt, but thats all we can do.hope.

Harry can't die. If he does, then I'll will get a bunch of Harry Potter fans from the USA, fly over to London, and riot in the market place against Harry's death. JKR will be dissappointing a lot of fans by killing Harry, but she has to do what she has to do, and if that invovles killing Harry then so be it. I just hope Voldemort dies with him.

wel, i guess i dont want harry to die, but we all know that someone is going to die in book seven, whether it be harry or voldemort or both of them. i have no clue if snape is really loyal to dumbledore or voldemort (whenever itry to figure it out, my head starts to spin). but i am pretty sure dumbledore is dead

If he's meant to die then he's meant to die, end of. And JKR lives in Edinborough, not London, about 700 miles difference and in a different country, it would kind of be like rioting in New York about something someone who lives in Torronto did. (Sorry, my English-person rantings over now)

I don't want him to die but I can see why she would kill him off.

Lol. Thanks for correcting me. But i don't think that anything is meant to be unless someone makes it be. Any can change the future, and the past is the result of our choices.

wait, you were kidding right? you arent seriously going to.....?

harry might die. i really dont want him to though.it wasnt meant to be. harry is a good guy, he doesnt deserve to die.(haha, that last part rymed!)

And why do you think we make those choices in the first place? I agree that man paves out his own destiny but I also think that this destiny is laid out very early on. For example, Voldemort chose to scare the children he was living with in the orphanage and to play the school bully, getting people to follow him because they were scared of him rather than because they actually liked him. Similarly perhaps, just perhaps, when Voldemort chose Harry to be the one whom the prophecy was referring to and when Harry chose to go down after the Philosopher's Stone and when he decided to go into the Chamber of Secrets and when he decided to go to the Department of Mysteries he laid out his own destiny that says that he has to die and maybe even that he has to die at the hand of Voldemort even if he takes him down with him.
Make sense?

Personally I think Lupin and Harry will be two definit deaths. Lupin, I love him (note the user name) but he is the only good Marauder left alive and I think its going to be one of those things where he dies defending Tonks or something. And Harry because I think he's the last horocrux.

Personally I don't think Harry, Ron, and Hermione are all going to live because J.K. said something about the bad guys don't target the extras they go for the main characters. However I do hope I'm wrong.
I've always hated Snape so I hope he turns out to be bad and Harry kills him! I think Malfloy might turn out to be good because he couldn't kill Dumbledore.
I also think Voldemort is definetly going to die but someone other then Harry could kill him. I hope Neville and Luna have bigger parts and I heard Victor Krum was going to be in it. Does anybody know if this is true?

jk only said two main characters will die. another person who hates snape! whoopie! hurray! halleluyah! okay, im on topic again. sorry!

i also think malfoy will become good, i think he carries a valuable weapon of some sort and ends up giving it to the order even though he knows he will die. but narcissa will end up sacrificing herself and lucius wont even care.

No one but Harry himself can kill Voldemort becuase the prophecy says....
"One must die at the hands of the other, for neither can live while the other survives...."
Something like that...but basically it means that only Harry can kill Voldemort and only Voldemort can kill Harry.

Right UnknownLocket the prophecy does say that, but Dumbledore also says something along the lines of the prophecy only matters because Voldemort thinks it does. So if Harry were to die someone else could kill Voldemort.
I hope someone finishes off Bellatrix Lestrange too because I like Sirius.
Hey heres an idea maybe Neville kills Voldy because he was the other boy mentioned in the prophecy!
What does everyone think?

i dont really think neville will become that brave, and the prophecy can be wrong, because they are both living now, no one has died. voldy chose to fufill the prophecy, it was his choice, he didnt have to, so harry doesnt necessarily have to kill him.

See, I am one of those optomisits who thinks Harry is gonna live in the end. He has been through too much just to die. Also, the prophecy says something along the lines of one cannot live while the other is alive, or something to that affect. I don't think Ginny, Hermione, or Ron will die, for that matter, because all of them still have stories that have yet to unfold. IF I had to choose one character to die, sadly enough, it would be Ginny though. What better motivation for the gang to defeat Voldermort (as if they needed any more)? And one more thing...Ginerva, ever think of writing a book yourself, you might be able to pull it off!

the Problem with JK saying "main character" is that she means way more than just the trio. I think the two who will die that she may not have inteneded are Petunia and Dudley.

yeah, i guess thats true but i seriously think ron will die. hes been a good friend all these years, and i think its time for him to kick the bucket. hermione can probably defend herself with all these charms and stuff that she knows. i think neville and ron will die(if you havent noticed already, i change my mind a lot).

Your right X-girl, someone else can kill Voldemort, that is once Harry dies first. What I meant though was that as long as they both are living, one of them must die at the hands of the other but no one can kill that other untill one dies then they can kill the other one. Wow, that's confusing . But does anyone get what I'm saying?

Anyways, when JKR said that a main character will die, I think she meant like one of the Trio, I'm guessing Ron, but I could be wrong and I hope that I am.

I think I get what you mean UnknownLocket. But you are right it is confusing!
Any way I think if some of Neville's friends were in danger he would be brave enough to fight Voldemort or the Death Eaters.
I think one of the trio might die but Ginny could too. The other person who i think might die is Hagrid because he may be irresponsible but he's still great friends with Harry and is probably the closet thing he's got to a parent now that Sirius and DD are dead.
LupinLover1313 you said Lupin is the only Marauder left but what about Scabbers/Pettrigruw?
Does anyone think Scabber's debt to Harry from PoA is going to matter? Because if it does matter will he have to save harry from Voldemort or a Death Eater?

i think it will come into play somehow.in the 4th book, voldy said that wormtail came to him out of fear, not loyalty.so i think with some confidence wormtail could in fact, help harry,knowing that he was safe and voldy would not kill him.

That would be quite interesting if Wormtail turned to Harry's side. However, I"m not sure if he's brave enough to do something like that. Wormtail has no spine whatsoever.

As far as s go: *sighs* I regret saying it, but someone really close to Harry is going to be killed by Voldemort. It's inevitable. Hopefully it's not more than one person, but we don't know this. It could be Ginny, it could be Ron and/or Hermoine (or both, eek). I really haven't a clue. But someone's gonna die. I get this feeling.

i think neville will have 2 fight voldermort but harry :wub:mabe harry and neville are both part of the profesy and if one of them dies the oda one dies it all lies in the last part of the profesy because we only herd half the profasy and prefesor trwlawny has read the whole profasy and also there is somthin odd about dat letter after dumbledoor died



ooooo spooky!!!

lool

If someone from the trio dies, I doubt that it would be both Hermione and Ron. That would be devastating. I really hope that none of them die and that its Ginny instead, or Hagrid, or anyone. I have a feeling, that no matter the outcome, there's still going to be tears by the end of the book.

But anyways, I agree that Wormtail is too much of a coward to do anything even if he owed someone a debt. It would be interesting though if he finally turned to the good side and helped Harry out. I would still hate him though. But as for Nevielle, I think that if one of his friends were endanger or if he had enough anger in him to seek revenge, he could definately porve us, the readers, wrong by showing us some of his strength and power. There's more to him than meets the eyes. Same with Luna. She's a very interesting character to me. I hope she plays a role in the next book.

Wormtail is definetly a coward and if it looks like Harry is going to win I bet he'll abandon Voldemort. Remember Lupin or Sirius said how he went to Voldemort as soon as he was sure he was the biggest bully on the playground. or something like that.
So I think if the debt isn't like an unbreakable vow and it isn't binding Wormtail might not carry it out if Voldy is winning.
Here's an idea on Snape. If he is evil (which I [s]hope think he is then maybe he'll help Harry because he liked Lily. Does anyone think Snape like Narcissa Malfloy? I think he might...
I agree with you on Neville and Luna UnknownLocket.
Does anyone know if Grawp or Fluffy will be around? We always have wondered what happened to Fluffy.
Harry and Neville could both be part of the prohecy but I don't know.
One last thing. Maybe DD interperted the prophecy wrong. I mean reading the future is risky and prophecys turn out to mean something opposite to what everybody thinks in other books I 've read.

i think dat the first half of de book will be about finding and destroying the remaining horcruxes whilst the final half will be the second war. the last chapter of "the order of the phoenix" is called 'the second war begins' and i think the last chapter of this book will be called 'the second war ends' and we know that this chapter is to tell us all about the survivors and what happens to them. A few years back, JK admitted that the last word will be scar although it might change in future edits. There are many possibilites i have for this speculation:

- harry kills voldermort and lives but the scar dissapears as every part of voldermort is now gone and that is what connects harry with voldermort
- harry dies and becomes a ghost but the ghost version has no scar
- someone else sacrifices themselve for another person (e.g ron for hermione lol) and create the boundary of love which might mean that somebody else will survive an avada kedavre curse

the war is bound to be big and will involve all the different races such as giants, werewolves, dementors etc! i think the characters of the D.A will help fight aswell as only a few have had their chance and otherwise it would be pointless if JK rowling put these characters and the progress into the DA and not intend to use them. Irony will occur consistently throughout the war i think such as:

- lupin will kill fenrir greyback
- arthur weasley will take out lucius malfoy if he manages to escape azkaban
- neville will play a part in the demise of bellatrix and i also reckon he will become a herbology teacher as sprout either dies or retires and he develops a plant to help revive hios parents to full health
- harry will take on malfoy for one last time
- ron will enjoy takin on crabbe and goyle if they follow in their fathers footsteps join the ranks of voldemort
- hermione will take revenge on dolohov for dat wierd spell that caused her some damage in "order of the phoenix". dolohov murdered the prewetts who were the brothers of molly weasley which makes dem the uncles of ron and ginny etc.
- hagrid will like to have revenge on macnair for 1)trying to kill buckbeak and 2) persuading the giants to join voldemort
- harry will fight snape and take out all the evil hes ever had for him and unleash it against him
- the order of the phoenix will have deaths just like the older order did. i have a feeling tonks will go but only after lupin declares his love for her
- most of the death eaters will die whilst some might be sent to a new prison???
- many muggles will die

other vital parts of book seven that could have affects:

- krum will return: why? maybe to help fight in the war and bring magical co-operation back into the magic world. or maybe hermione dies and hes at her funeral??????????
- sirius's motorbike and mirror have part: the last we heard of the motorbike was when hagrid used it to take harry to the dursleys - did he return it to sirius????has hagrid got it somewhere??? harry smashed the mirror sirius gave him but im sure with a bit of magic it can be repaired (reparo?) but sirius IS dead so he will use the mirror to communicate with someone else then
-kreacher plays some part: he is in harrys command now so maybe harry can use him???or will kreacher betray someone else to their deaths???
-jk rowling refused to comment if the locked door in the department of mysteries will be in book seven. dumbledore mentions this room to harry in "order of the phoenix" when he is telling him about the prophecy. dumbledore mentions it contains powerful magic
-some non-magic folk will do magic but its not petunia: when jk rowling said this she did not say the word muggle which means it might be a squib - filch??figg??. either way it plays an important part - i have an assumption its dudley. dont no why but always felt theres more that meets the eye bout him and we might be able to work it out when we discover what he felt when the dementors were near him
-when harry relives the graveyard events to dumbledore there apparently is a 'gleam of triumph' in dumbledores eyes when harry tells him that voldemort used harrys own blood for the reviving potion. we find out why he was happy bout dis in book seven from someone but i dont think it will be dumbledores portrait - i tink voldemort will tell harry stuff dumbledore never
-rowling states that a member of the order of the phoenix who has not had such a big role yet will have one in the final book. rumours are that it will be aberforth dumbledore who will avenge the death of his brother. i think it will be dedalus diggle. he was mentioned in "philosphers stone" and was one of the advance guard in "order of the phoenix"
- rowling also states that ravenclaw will have their day: there has only be one main character from ravenclaw that has been mentioned and thats cho chang. she will be up for fighting voldemort as she suffered the loss of loved one cedric diggory but also of her feelings to harry. she is the only main contender although other ravenclaws mentioned are terry boot, michael corner, roger davies etc. some are members of the D.A

as for horcruxes:

only two are confirmed - marvolo gaunts ring and tom riddles diary

this leaves five left:

possibilities:

- salazar slytherins missing locket: believed to be stolen from hepzibah smith by tom riddle. this is what dumbledore and harry expected to find in the cave. There was a locket mentioned in "order of the phoenix" when they are clearing out a cupboard in number 12 grimmauld place that none of them could open. if R.A.B is regulas black then when he stole it he could have put it in the house knowing that the house can not be seen let alone entered without the parchment permitting them to it. nevertheless when voldemort heard of this betrayal other death eaters were relatives of blacks such as bellatrix and she could of got voldemort permission to go inside.
- a hufflepuff cup engrave with the badge also stolen from hepzibah smith by tom riddle. its wereabouts is unknown yet there is a hufflepuff member in harrys year that goes by the surname of smith which is ofcourse the obnoxious zacharias smith. he could be a relative of hepzibah and have the cup in his famils possesion although 'smith' is a popular surname so it could be anywhere
- an unknown item belonging to godric gryffindor or rowena ravenclaw yeh the only two relics of gryffindor that are known about are the sword and the sorting hat which both reside in dumbledores office. jk rowling has confirmed the sorting hat is not a horcrux. no ravenclaw relic has ever been mentioned but rowling insists ravenclaw will have their day in the end. maybe they will destroy this relic???
- the final possibilitie that has some mention in the books is the great serpent nagini: is known to be risky to entrust part of your soul into another living thing yet volemort is reckless and will not be afraid. nagini has lived longer than any other average snake which might be because she has part soul of a human inside her. another correlation is that harry is only connected with voldemort so see's what he see's and feels what he feels. yet in "order of the phoenix" harry sees through the eyes of the snake we believe to be nagini. now this is impossible unless there is a part of voldemort in the snake althought dumbledore said that voldemort had possessed the snake for that night but nevertheless this is before dumbledore knew about the horcruxes.

sorry its longwinded - had to get it out of me!! i got my sources of information from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_book_seven and then clicked on other links such as 'horcrux' and 'r.a.b' and it gives you all the information and their sources

i have a feeling that one of the treo will not die but get fataly ill thanks 2 LV and at the end they make it yay


there are so meny endings and mabie one of us is right but mabie JK will come up with som thin supisein and unexpected and thats what makes the book good you will have to be very good at clues and read all ther books like 20 times again to get even close to the endin




HARRY POTTER IS DA BEST BOOK EVA



whops soz bout dat just blurted it out

You said Ravenclaw would have their day regulas black well I think it'll be Susan Bones (her aunt Madame Bones died) or Luna Lovegood.
I hope Tonks has a bigger part because I really like her. Earlier someone said somewhere maybe Greyback will kill Tonks and Lupin will kill him. I hope Tonks doesn't die but I 'd like to read a werewolf fight.
I've never cried during a book yet, maybe this'll be the first time.
If Harry, Ron, and Hermione go to find the Horcuxes will anyone else go too?

I think (and hope) that Sirius and Dumbledore will somehow play a role in the 7th book. Even if it isnt a huge part they are just too good of characters to be lost indefinately from the last book. Take Lily and James for example we have never actually met them, we have just heard stuff about them. Even though thats the case they just had breif but important role in the GOF in the Priori Incantem part. Hopefully there will be more of them than just sad memories.

i totally agree. i do think that sirius is alive but i think dd is so dead. i think harry might venture into the veil, i think ron will die, and i think hermione will get a job or something.

I think Sirius should be in it. I doubt we've seen the last of the veil, since it was so weird. Maybe they'll actully go into it.
Maybe Harry will be able to use the pensieve to find out more of DD memories and maybe he'll be able to talk to the picture in his office.
I have a feelling Ron might die since he's Harry's best mate.
Wouldn't it be neat if Mundungus has a big part?
That would be funny, did anyone notice in HP 4 at the World Cup Mundungus says he had a twelve room tent with a jacuzzi?

i completely agree with u about the part with sirious and DDs memories but i dont think itll b ron who die i think itll either b neveile (i think that how u spell it), ginny or hermione.

If Ginny were to get kill Harry and Ron will be sure to avenge her. You couldn't pay me to kill her. Maybe Malfloy will turn good and Voldemort or Snape will kill him in front of Narcissa and she'll get very mad too.
What if Voldymort doesn't die in a duel? Maybe Hermione or someone will find another way to kill him. Or maybe they'll set a trap some how.
I hope Hermione doesn't die, she's my favorite. Maybe someone will try to kill her but Krum dies instead.

All will end well.Do not worry,I am your master!!!I Know.

Well... I think the next book will be very big, not just 'cuz the size, but 'cuz the contents. Jo owes us so many explains. The LAST book would be fool of explains...
I think Harry will kill Voldemort, but he will die too. I dunno. I just know that Jo wouldn't be so mean and leave Voldemort alive...
We will see something really important about Neville's past. We'll see the really importance of Luna... So many things are gonna happen...
We'll see!

i think that harry will marry ginny hermione and ron will get together and marry (that is when they are older like when jk tells us about the rest of their lives.) harry will live and voldemort will die fred and gorge might die malfoy will so die and no hermione malfoy i never will suport that and they hermione snape thing i mean WHO COMES UP WITH THIS!
and lupin will die

Hi there fellow potter fans!! I'm new on this site and have to say I really love it as i'm a huge potter fan.Im really looking forward to the last book (7).
My friend told me that she read in a J.K. Rowling interveiw, that the last word in the last book would be 'scar'. Also I just read the old J.K interveiw (on this site) and she said harry may be related to Godric Gryffindor..... so I honestly believe that in book 7 its likely that harry is a descendant of Gryffindor's and we all know Voldermort is the heir of slytherin. Therefore maybe its an old battle of the houses (as those old heads were once best friends then hated eachothersoon after founding hogwarts school).through their descendants.
Also I think that as one of the horcruxes is (leaning towards) Gryffindors sword (in dumbledores office) that harry will slay voldermort with it in the final showdown!!!
Hope this doesn't sound too conspiracy theory-ish and really happy to be on this site!!

Hi jennypotter I agree with you that Harry will turn out to be a descendant of Godric Griffindor and the reason I think this is becase. Dumbledore told Harry only a true Griffindor could pull that sword out of the hat.

Sure it could have been a throw away comment and mean anyone in the Griffindor house but I think there was a lot more meaning behind it and even back then Dumbledore was trying to drop hints about his descendants.

We don't know anything about James's family and I have a feeling we will find out more about them in book 7.

I thought about Dumbledore being Harry from the future but then decided that was just stupid as Dumbledore does not have a scar and Dumbledore would not have been able to speak to Harry as in POA he had to be careful not to let his past Harry or anyone else se the timeturner Harry or Hermione.

My other thought was that Dumbledore was also related to Harry but then I had an arguement with myself about that one too, because if Harry was related to Dumbledore why did he have to go back to the Dursleys once a year, if he could have just stayed with Dumbledore. Then I thought that because it was his Mum that sacrificed herself it had to be her family because it was her that sacrificed herself for him.

I think JK has said book 7 is more a continuation of book 6 so hary will continue to learn more about Voldermort and his Horcruxes. I think Dumbledore will still be helping as Dumbledore will still be about in some form.

We have to find out the truth about Snape whether he is good or bad.

In the end good will conquer over evil and Harry will in some way defeat Voldermort, although I don't think he will use the killing curse.

Maybe after finding and destroying all Voldermorts Horcruxes, Voldermort will be so weak and a good old fashioned Muggle fist fight will finish him off. HA HA HA

What do you think let me know

umm yeah... just playing, i have arguments with myself all the time!

anyhow, i like the idea of harry being related to godric gryffindor, its very likely. or maybe dd was related,which explains him keeping that sword, and harrys not related to anyone famous (okay, i highly doubt that)

oo! i just had a theory!!!!!! okay, what if harry is related to godric gryffindor, and in the last page of the book he sees godrics picture and godric has a scar just like harry! and it ends with, "harry saw the picture of godric, and the last thing he saw on godrics head was a lightening bolt scar"

It will end with a period.

I also think it will end in Hogsmeade or at the Burrow with the trio and Ginny relaxing.

I think that it will end with Harry, Ron, and Hermione going off in their own directions in their lives. They will still be friends but now that they are grown up they all decisions to make about their lives. Harry will go off to possibly work as an Auror at the M.o.M. Ron will go back to the Burrow, Hermione will also get a job at the M.O.M possibly in the Muggle Studies dept. That is an interesting theory about Harry being a descendant of Godric Gryffindor. That would make sense as to the fact of Harry's unusual magic powers at such a young age. It will be intriguing to see how it all ends up. But then again HArry could lose one of his best friends also, if this happens I will say Ron.

Hi there HP fans! Just to recap on what I said last time....

I just read the old J.K interveiw (on this site) and she said harry may be related to Godric Gryffindor..... so I honestly believe that in book 7 its likely that harry is a descendant of Gryffindor's and we all know Voldermort is the heir of slytherin. Therefore maybe its an old battle of the houses (as those old heads were once best friends then hated eachothersoon after founding hogwarts school).through their descendants.
Also I think that as one of the horcruxes is (leaning towards) Gryffindors sword (in dumbledores office) that harry will slay voldermort with it in the final showdown!!!


NEW....And here's a few other thoughts....
1) Harrys parents are buried in Godrics hollow--is this anyway connected to Godric Gryffindor? (maybe has significance).Harry descendant of Gryffindor? all purebloods are inter-related and james potter was a pure blood.

2) Also Gryffindors sword-- a horcrux or untouchable by voldermort?

3)Dumbledore--will his portrait hang in his office like other headmasters before him and travel to other portraits (like phinus Nigellus in grimmauld place) and if so where would his other portrait be? Ministry of magic as hes on the committee. And can harry talk to him?

4) Harry heard whispers behind the veil (in OOTP) even though ron etc didnt hear anything. Then sirius fell into the veil while duelling with his cousin bellatrix Lestrange.
Then Loony lovegood asked "didnt you hear them behind the veil, they're just lurking out of site" (OOTP page 684 english version). Luna heard them like harry. Also remember BOTH harry and luna can see threstrals due to witnessing death! Maybe thats why they can hear behind the veil and ron etc cant!!!!

5) If this is so, then maybe SIRIUS will appear in some way (veil or 2 way mirror maybe?) to contact harry one last time. Is the Veil like limbo? (worse than death as stuck between).

6) Voldermort = heir of slytherin, Harry = heir of Gryffindor??--then maybe ancient battle carried down from hogwarts founders (slytherin/Gryffindor) to their descendants (Harry and voldermort) slytherin has snake (nagini for vol) gryff's sword for harry).

7) Lupin was adamant Sirius was dead (OOTP) but some mysteries are still not understood and unsolved by the department of mysteries.....

8) JKR said harry gets a new pet..... fawkes the pheonix maybe???


ALSO I posted this on a new thread but got no replies-- thought it was a good point tho....

POSTED TOPIC:
Just reading about the JKR info....
* Dumbledore was seen to have a "gleam of triumph" in his eyes when told that Voldemort had restored his body using Harry's blood, at the end of Goblet of Fire (Ch. 36). Rowling has confirmed that this is "still enormously significant".[21]

People keep saying the significance is that harry may be a horcrux.

Yet I disagree......
I think the significance is the loss of blood protection, when harry comes of wizarding age (17). Voldermort took Harry's blood to get Harry's mother's lingering protection so he could touch the boy. But when he turns 17 the protection will falter as he will become a man.

What if it also falters for voldermort (when he tries to hurt harry) as they both have a connection through harry's scar? And as the protection is an its ancient magick voldermort will underestimate it and try to use it to his detriment.
Maybe his protection will waver but somehow I think having his mothers eyes will help him somehow......... just a thought.
Any comments???

maybe harrys power to end it all lies in having his mothers eyes as the eyes are the windows to the soul..............

hello I think that the trio will all be fine. I think that Hagrid will die fighting to help get Harry to his confrontation with Voldemort. I also feel that good or bad Snape will get it. Neville will kill Belatrix for touturing his parents . Ginny is to crafty to get caught in the same predicament twice. Mrs. Weasley has to survive to cry over the ones who have died . Mr. Weasley has to survive to comfort Mrs. Weasley. Fred and George will grow old as the heads of an international corporation . Charlie might die but he isn't much of a character so not very likely except to upset family. Percy very likely to die to redeem himself in the eyes of the family . Bill will go to St. Mungo's and they will make a vaccine from his blood which cures werewolfism . He and Fleur will have several kids. Lupine and Tonks will be married after he is vaccinated and have a daughter a lot like Tonks . Ron and Hermione will get married not long after Voldy dies and have twins boy and girl . Harry and Ginny will become Aurors and devote themselves to adopting and raising orphaned wizard children . Neville will teach Herbology at Hogwarts . Luna Lovegood will become the minister of magic and have teams of wizards out looking for strange creatures . I think that between the portrait and the pensive Harry will find out what he needs to overcome LV. I think that Draco will wind up fighting alongside Harry, he may even be the one who finally helps him learn Occlumancy which he learned from Snape. I think this may happen because LV kills his parents or at least his mother and is looking for him. Or I could be completely wrong I hope not though. :

Hi there potter fans!
some good points raised here! like the one about loony lovegood becoming minister for magic (by buckwert)--ingenious!!!

NEW THEORY!!![u]
I think I know why dumbledores trust snape and why snape wont hurt harry!!!
We're led to believe he won't hurt harry coz voldermort wants him, yet in HBP when harry calls snape a coward he loses it and slashes harry with his wand but never kills him. Also when he did this he had the same look of revulsion on his face before he finished off dumbledore. (as if he was burning with anger). But wait for it........

Snape did a binding charm with narcissa malfoy to protect draco (in HBP beginning) so no harm would come to him, while doing work for old voldy...
what if snape did the same charm all those years ago with dumbledore to protect harry? Maybe after he 'converted' to dumbledores side (as proof to dumbledore of his new allegiance) and thats why dumbledore trusts him???
Just a thought........ any comments......

Dumbledore would never force anyone's alliegance to his side. He believes that everyone must make their own choices and he's not that type of person. This also shows that Dumbledore didn't fully trust Snape if he had to make an unbreakable vow with him. It had to be something else....possibly something Snape said. But never, I think, would Dumbledore make Snape take a vow to ensure his loyalty.

Jennypotter has a good idea there, DD probably did not even have to insist former death eater Snape would have been willing to do almost anything to stay out of Azkaban feeling as he did at the time that Voldemort was destroyed and Snape preferred his job at Hogwarts to a cell. He might have even suggested it to Dumbledore thinking that he was safe in making the vow judging from his conversation with Bellatrix and Narcissa in HBP. I wonder what he expects to get out of his vow to Narcissa other than alleviating suspicion from the other death eaters. I also wonder how Rowling will dovetail the sequence of events so that Snape can accomplish both?

Well, i don't think so. I don't see Dumbledore ever making an unbreakable vow with anybody. Unless, Snape did the imperius curse or something and forced Dumbledore to take the vow but still Dumbldore could have resisted and not do it. Come on, this is Dumbledore. The nice, sweet, joking, and very powerful, once Hogwarts Headmaster. He would never do that.

I was thinking more along the lines of it being a supplication on Snape's part to prove his loyalty. Snape may be powerful as compared to a teenage wizard but as compared to the only wizard VM ever feared Snape leaves much to be desired. he is cunning but I cannot see him as other than a trusted lieutenant able to carry out very explicit instructions but not a very impressive general allows emotions to get the better of him.
