yer he's dead i guess where did harry get his fortune from? JK said that someone performs magic late in life, who couldnt before... who waas it? Yeah idk how his parents came across/earned so much gold. I was kind of expecting to learn a lot more about his parents in the 7th book, like what they did for a living and such. JKR recently said she changed her mind about someone performing magic late in life. So that is why it wasnt in there. I am sure someone has already posted this link somewhere, but if you havent read it already you all should definitely read this web transcript with JKR at mugglenet: mugglenet.com/app/news/full_story/1156I would like to know what happened to the Dursleys too. Like if Harry still has contact with them. I think he might. JKR said she would posted additional info on her website in the future.

I bet Harry still kept in touch with Dudley. I bet they actually sent eachother "real" gifts at Holidays and stuff like that. I bet Vernon and Petunia never changed though.
I wish they had talked about James and Lily more...I mean through the books we never really found out how they got together except that James had a crush on her. Lily never liked him back in the parts we read about and I dont' know about ya'll, but I kinda rooted for Snape when the chapter about their passt came up.
I just never got to see why Lily and James ended up together, it kinda bugged me because it would have had to be something big because she didn't like him at all from what i could tell.
I thought that would totally be awful for Snape too...i mean not only do you lose the girl of your dreams because your an evil git, but you lose her to your mortal enemy....I mean if he was considering giving up his evil streak for Lily before, he surely gave that up as soon as she ditched their friendship and hooked up with James.
I think Snape made one of the biggest contributions to this story, as much as Voldy or Harry..he over heard the prophecy (the WHOLE reason Voldy went after Harry), told Voldy and asked for protection for Lily, then knew his master was a jerk and warned Dumbledore and asked to hide them, then when that literally blew up in his face he took it upon himself to spy for the order and try and keep Harry alive...
I think HP is as much Snape's journey as it is Harry's.

Wow, that's a good point. Snape's always there with Harry ever since the first book. Oh how sad.. Wish he didn't die. I knew he was innocent! I don't think he's a slimy old git anymore. It just seems so rude to insult such a great man like that. I thought it was so touching, the time before Snape died, he told Harry to look at him, just to see Lily's eyes one more time. Omg, *tear*. (I wonder how Alan Rickman thinks of his character now... Lol.)

haha! Yea! I just feel so bad that Snape wasn't liked back and i NEVER thought i would say that. I always thought he was guilty...i just didn't know that he had ever tried to redeem himself.
I kinda resent Lily for not giving Snape the benefit of the doubt. I mean his home life was awful! I wish she woulds given it a shot with him, then maybe would have been good all the time instead of waiting til the last 7 years of his life.
P.S. Do ya'll kinda wonder how no one knew that Snape had loved her? I mean no one! Lupin, Sirius, James, Peter....these best friends who became so close to Lily and they never even suspected!? Odd....Seems like Lily and Snape were Best Friends until atleast the last two year of hogwarts...you'd think Lupin, mister smarty pants of the group, would have at least suspected...

yeah well i think someone had to know besides the two of them at Hogwarts. we've learned that you can't keep a secret at hogwarts so someone knew but obvisiously didn't say anything or did and no one seemed to care. i'll admit i was seriously ticked off that Snape killed Dumbledore in HBP but i still couldn't work of the nerve to hate him. he was present to us as someone who harry didn't trust and that always seemed odd to me and i figure out after Goblet of Fire that he must be a good guy. it hit me after i read that part where Snape and Sirius shook hands. i thought from there on that Snape was a good guy and i cried my eyes out when he died and had harry look at him before his last breathe. it was super sweet and i really wish he had lived.

Well no...i mean I hated him because he killed Dumbledore, i thought he was just killing him to save Draco which ticked me off even more cause Draco is a turd, but when i found out that Dumbledore was gonna die a horrible painful death from that curse...i understood. I think Snape had to die, i mean, he was one of those characters that I always knew was gonna die for his cause, whether that meant it was the good side or bad side. I only teared up when he died when he asked Harry to look at him. I'm glad that Harry named his kid for Dumbledore and Snape! It was very fitting!
Another Unanswered Question! I wonder where Ablus Severus got sorted to? and I wonder if after Voldemorts downfall if they still had that awful stigma...i mean didn't at least some of them stay behind to fight the last battle at hogwarts? They can't all have been bad?

I dont think all slytherins were bad anymore, but i think people still knew their past, and that they had been bad at sometime. Sorta like... ok bad example, but i cant think of anything right now *its 4:25 in the morning* but like in the past, germans may have been associated as bad becuase of the nazis. but today, we still know of that past, be we also know that they are not bad...get what im saying? lol. yeah... And I would assume he would be in gryffindor cause harry and hermione were. but i suppose it doesnt really matter, does it? lol.
