I really wish there was more Harry Potter....like for real. It's over ya'll....no more big book releases.... *sigh*....she should continue writing about all of them.
I have one really big unanswered question.....I still don't know why Tom Riddle was so mean...I know how he became mean...and what he did after he decided to be mean...but still don't know why?
Another question....Did ya think Lily liked Snape back!? I mean they seemed very "Dawson and Joey" to me (sorry if you youngin's don't know). They were BFF and lived near eachother and went through Petunia's things together and played together and Snape confided in her the abuse his father inflicted on him and his mother...I mean, that sounds like a friend for life to me. Do you think that just maybe it was a reciprocal thing? and if it was, do you think she ever thought about him while she was working for the Order or when she was hiding out with James and Harry? About how her once BFF was now on the opposing team and if he was alright or what had become of him?
Snape loved her so much; his patronus took the shape of hers; he kept a shred of paper with her signature on it just to have something that would make him feel close to her; he asked his master to spare her life; then he spent the rest of his adult life trying to redeem himself and continually risking his life for her son....
I'm just saying that it would be really awful if she never missed his friendship...that would be sad....
*sniff sniff*
Just some thoughts...

I'm glad someone mentioned Teddy, cause I had a question, but forgot, and that reminded me! Ok, so the epiloge is 19 year later right? So wtf is Teddy doing on the train to hogwarts? He'd be 19 years old right? he should for sure be out of hogwarts dont you think?

He'd be 19 years old right? he should for sure be out of hogwarts dont you think? well i think this kind of relates to a memory that Harry visited in Snape's Headmaster office. I think they might have started sorting when students were older. i still found it strange that he was there of course but i think that might be the answer. i also found it strange that Draco Malfoy was at the platform as well. All of the death eaters were either killed or sent to Azkaban so why was he there when everyone knew he was a death eater? i also would like to know who he married b/c i think that could come up possibily in a future book. yes i know JK said this was the last one she would write but i have a feeling that maybe she'll write another one b/c the ending was left with a lot of unanswered questions and very open ended for someone to go and write another story. i mean that someone could write about Harry and Ginny's life together or Hermione and Rons and what happened with Malfoy. i find this an important thing. another unanswered questions was why was Mundungus afraid of Dumbledore? that was never answered! *Tanya*

I'm pretty sure JK will not continue with Harry Potter, other than the encyclopedia, which will explain everything anyways i suppose. And Most everyone who isnt on dumbledores good side all the time was afraid of him, who wouldnt be? lol. And what memory? It never said all the death eaters were killed? True, they were prolly all arrested and what not. But I doubt Draco would have been charged, being a kid pretty much and all. And his mom and dad and him came around to the good side in the end.

i actually think they were only thinking of themselves in the end like true slytherin's (sorry but it's true). anyway, i'm referring to the memory where oh hold on i've got to go and get my book so i can get the right quote and or page #. alright i found it! good thing i remembered what chapter it was in. Okay if you will please do this...
Chapter 33 "The Prince's Tale", page 680...
"No," agreed Dumbledore. "You are a braver man by far than Igor Karkaroff. You know, I sometimes think we Sort too soon..."
that's the quote i was referring too.

The only said that Teddy had "snuck" on the train to see Victoire...soo maybe he had left school but still escorted her to the train just to see her off...like I'm sure when Ginny continued to go to Hogwarts, Harry and Ron and Hermione probably went with her to the train.

This is going to be a looooong post… Harry and Voldie are very distantly related. That family tree is quite interesting actually, have a look: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relatives_of_Harry_PotterI don’t think Dudley saw anything in the Dementor incident; he just felt what they did. The Gaunt family is now completely gone because Marvolo died, Voldemort killed Morfin, Merope died after giving birth, and Voldemort is now very much dead too. We have to just assume that Mad-Eye is dead. Hagrid is at home. Fawkes… that’s a mystery. Fawkes seemed to vanish when Dumbledore died (or was it at his funeral? I can’t remember) so perhaps Fawkes died a final death along with Dumbledore, or simply left. I’m curious about the Dursleys too. I believe they are probably alive. I think Tom Riddle was always that kind of person, having a mother who died giving birth to him and a father who left. With the discovery of his magical abilities, he exercised his power, in turn making him even worse. Lily and Snape were best friends. Snape hoped for more than that, but Lily didn’t. Because Snape was also friends with soon-to-be Death Eaters, this put a strain on their friendship. When Snape lost control and called Lily a Mudblood, that was the final straw. I think that at times she would have been sad that it had ended that way, but I believe it was unrequited love that Snape had for her. That thing about Teddy is strange. It is possible that they Sort at a later age, but I think that detail is a little to obscure to be the reason. The “sneaking on” thing is most likely the cause. Draco’s wife is a previously unknown character, or she would have been mentioned by name. Draco is still out and about because he was never a threat: while being a Death Eater, he was afraid to actually hurt people. Also, at the end the family only cared about each other and left Voldemort. I think it’s good that she left some things unsaid. If we knew everything that happened in between, we wouldn’t be free to imagine, and I believe it’s important not to close things completely. Also, the story of those nineteen years would probably be awfully boring after about nineteen days. I thought that Dung’s fear of Dumbledore was going to be important. They said that he was only afraid of Dumbledore, which has been said about Voldemort time and time again. However, when Snape planted the idea for replicating Harry, I think this shows that Dung was never trustworthy, as he was the link between the Death Eaters and the Order. Anyway, it was nice to end it at platform nine and three-quarters. This meant that it had a nice innocent feel, showing that after Voldemort’s defeat, all really was well. It’s good to think that Luna never changed, and that Neville is happy. I also reckon that Neville might be Head of Gryffindor. One thing I’d like to know is how Tonks and Lupin were killed. I found it terrible that they had to die, and it would make me feel a little better to know what actually happened.

yea it did say sneaking on so i don't think the whole flow of hogwarts sorting people at an older age is at fault. He prolly just wanted to snog his girlfriend one last time because the next time he saw her it would be Christmas break.
Yea i don't think Lily loved Snape back, I"m just saying that it may have had the potentional to be something else if he hadn't been so keen on the Dark arts....i knew it was an unrequited love...i just hate to think a friendship from early childhood to your late teens would go unmissed, especially in a world with such destruction and tormoil...

He's a Metamorphmagus. His hair was changing colour from birth, remember? Of course, it's always possible that he's a colour-changing werewolf (which, now that I think about it, would be incredibly cool)
