Do not read this if you have not yet finished HP 6

Well I finished it on Sunday evening and here is my two cents: I find AD’s repeated “I trust Snape completely” and Snape’s hand on the wand to be compelling…add to that Snap’s subsequent, “No Potter!” when HP tried to use the Cruciatus curse (that is, trying to prevent him from using an Unforgivable Curse (ok, yes, he was intending to aim it at Snape)).

JKR is inclined to give hints about major issues…AD telling DM that, “He cannot kill you if you are already dead…” The repeated, seemingly unfounded yet unshakable “I trust Snape completely,” combined with the overt, “you can hide in death” reference leaves me pretty certain book seven will open (or thereabouts) with HP and AD reunited (probably at 12 Grimwald Place).

I may be wrong…but I’ll be quite disappointed if that is the case. AD’s death was far “beneath” his stature if it was his True Death. Time will tell…how long are we going to have to wait, one wonders... *sigh*
