I agree with you completely.
I think it's been hinted at a few times that Snape has a thing for Lily.
Remember Slughorn talking about how good Lily was at potions too... so Snape and Lily had something in common, however if we look back at snapes memory Harry found in the pensieve, Snape did call her a mudblood.
I think that may have been more out of resentment to James than anything else though.
I think one of the reasons Snape can't stand Harry is because he looks so much like the thing that he was so jealous of. Harry is the result of James's relationship with Lily, and to Snape it must be like having it rubbed in his face every time Harry is around.
I am fairly sure that Snape is not a bad guy though... It's been made too obvious throughout the books... he's been described pretty much like a pantomime 'baddy' you would shout BOOOO at hehe
I think he will come through in the end.
I also think that Malfoy may change in the last book..
I think for Malfoy it's been pretty much like 'yeah I can do this, my dads a death eater, I can be too, killing will be no problem' but then when it came down to it, he realised he wasn't quite as prepared as he thought he was..
Malfoy may yet be saved =)

R.A.B is Sirius brother who was killed by voldermort after discovering the horcrux. The locket is in the possession of Kreacher and Dumbledore is alive somewhere, not only is Snape capable of it as you mentioned but remeber in book 6 just before he dies he tries to convince Draco that he can protect him and his whole family from death (inplying that he can hide them IN DEATH) I believe that Snape is trying to protect and train Harry to be able to kill Voldemort in all that he has done.

RAB is NOT confirmed as being Regulus Black since no one knows his middle name, but it is more than likely him...

dumbledore is alive, (www.dumbledoresnotdead.com), one of the main points there is the fact that when snape "killed" dumbledore, dumbledore flew up in the air above the astronomy tour..then fell all the way to thr ground... when a normal killing curse you just drop dead where you were standing or sitting/// thats a main thing showing he is alive.

and i dont think snape is trying to train harry in killing voldemort...he only likes harry in a little way because he was in love with lilly....otherwise he would completley hate harry....i think atleast

I personally think that J.K Rowling will kill both Harry and Voldemort to finish up the series because she doesnt want to erite any more books shes already become quite rich.
I think Harry will die while killing Voldemort.

i dont think he will be killed while trying to kill voldemort, i think he will be scared verry badly kind of like dumbledore's hand was when he took the Horcrux out of the ring..

I like very Harry Potter, but especially part 7. I think, that it book very good. For errors Sorry but I from poland.

[size=4]I think that Neville will be a massive character in the final book.

I think that RAB could be Regulus Black. He may want revenge for ordering death eaters to go after Sirius. He also said to the dark lord. At the beginning of HP5 Sirius mentions it. I have also heard rumours that RAB is a team of three wizards/witches. It can't be though because if you loook at the message it said "but it was I that discovered..." It would be "we"

I belive (and hope) that snape is not evil, harry does not die and that Dumbledore is really dead. I have seen many arguments against dumbledore being dead, inluding the very interesing one about his eyes being closed, but i feel that there is far more evidence that he is dead and he and snape pre-aranged the killing.

I did not think that R.A.B was sirius' brother until i heard of the 'heavy locket the no-one could open' at Grimmauld place in book 5, now i think that it is quite likely.

I think that the two theories about harry being a horcrux and snape being in love with lily are interesting but,in my opinion, unlikley.

There are several questions that i would like to hear views on: Will the next book be set around hogwarts? What happens to malfoy jr.? Does there come a time where harry is glad that he saved wormtail? How is harry going to destroy all the horcruxes without help, or where does he get help?

Here is a quote from book 4 that nobody else seems to have mentioned:

"The smoky shadow of a tall man with untidy hair fell to the groud as Bertha had done, straightened up, and looked at him...and Harry, his arm shaking madley now, looked back into the ghostly face of his father.
'Your mother's coming...' he said quietly. 'She wants to see you...it will be all right...hold on...'"
Book 4, P 579

Surley this implies that harry's mother was killed first as the spells come in reverse order!

My theory is that Harry is the last unknown horcrux (Voldemort made him one when he tried to kill him the first time), and thus when all the other horcruxes are destroyed (which will occupy the most of book 7), he will kill himself and then voldemort will die again muhaha. Yeah.

More interestingly, who the ef is RAB, or w/e those initials were?

Edit: My bad guys, I didn't bother reading all the posts. Apparently someone said my idea already =p

I kinda think J.K. Rowling will kill off Harry Potter in the last book. This is simply because of the fact that, if Harry lives past the seventh (and final) book, then Harry Potter fans all over the world will continuously hound J.K. Rowling to write more books about Harry in his years after Hogwarts.

I personally would be one of those hounds! biggrin.gif

However, I *hope* that is not the case, as I would love to read more about Harry Potter, seven books just isn't enough for the marvelous wizarding world Rowling has created!

I have also heard of other books related to Harry Potter that Rowling has written (for charities), like the books that Harry actually reads in Hogwarts. I think (if memory serves me correctly) they were:

Quidditch through the Ages
Magical Creatures and Where to find them

I think that was all though, please correct me if I am wrong...
