you want answers firetears here they are:

hermonie and ron at first didnt' like each other that much. as the story goes on and ron got with lunaria(i think forgot correct me if im wrong plz!) and hermonie seem to get jealous. then ron broke up with his gf and it seem hermonie was pleased. so im guessing they gona get together in the next book. i mean at dumbledore funeral ron was stroking her hair while she was crying.

ron was surprise at first when harry kissed ginny out of the blue but then he approved of it.hermonies im not sure someone answer that.

Dumbledore was killed by snape while pleading and everbody knows about it.

voldemart return who knows have to wait for next book.

hang on, wasn't ron with lavender brown?! neway, for most part of the book, ron n hermione were at odds with each other n at points she avoided ron as much as possible, not wating to be in the same room as him n some such. as to them getting it on in the next book, seems certain coz at dumbledore's funeral, hermione was crying in rons arms while he tried to console her. at the same time, harry broke off with ginny n she accepted his decision, stating that she knew it was going to happen all along.

as for voldemort's return, he's already returned (GoF), he even showed up at the ministry (OotP). he's already got the ball rolling. mind you, he's got control of the dementors already and the leader of giants is one who favours voldemort. i guess he gonna repay his 13 years of 'debts' before continuing with where he left off, harry's death included in those 'debts'.

i remember reading somewhere that the 7th book is the final one but somehow, with all the stuff mentioned in the link provided by free_fighter, n the stuff in my last post, there's a lot to cover in the last book, if indeed it is. mayb it'll turn into a trilogy in itself like LotR, or it'd just b one heck of a thick book.

SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE

eisenmeteor · Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2005 3:57 am Post subject:

Ok first of Spraypaint if you bothered reading that's been said a few times alredy incase you didn't notice, so I don't think it's that much of a spoiler anymore.
Aww Im so sad... I liked Ginny and it was nice seeing them finaly get together. He could at least have asked her to wait for her and tell her he'll come back for her when it's all over but hey he just had to walk of. Yes Im annoyed at him for pulling something like that, I'll be surprised if Ron doesn't get at least abit angry at Harry when he finds out he broke up with her... understandble why but still. And beside didn't Dumbledore tell Harry that love is what defeated Voldemort the first time and that it's important that he do love since it's something Voldemort can't. Yes Im angry at Harry.
Edit: Almost forgot to Firetears: Hermoine more or less alredy knew or suspected that Harry liked Ginny before he even kissed her, so she wasn't that surprised as everyone else. She made hints every now and then plus she also helped them get to that point in a way.

one of the reasons snape kills dumbleore is because he took the unbreakable vow with drakos mother and if he would have broken it he would have died

I've read the book, is great.

I already got a clue about who R.A.B. is. I think it's him and it would make sense.
I think the whole HBP thingie was well thought off, and i don't think anyone though it would be something like that...and then who he is :p
well, we know what's should happen in the next volume, so if JK Rowling wants to surprise us, she has to do her very best...

actualy, a thought occured to my dad and i in the car the other day... what if the potion itself was the horcrux? I bet that snape and dumbledore ALSO made an unbreakable vow that snape would be the one to kill dumbledore if the need for it ever arose. I think when dumbledore said please, it was because the horcrux was already inside him, and the only way to destroy it was for dumbledore to be killed, he wasn't begging for snape's mercy, he was begging him not to back down from, killing him. It all made sense to me...but as for RAB i have no idea... Please comment cause i'd like to have someone to debate with on this

R.A.B.

you think it could be sirius's brother (Regalus A. Black)

maybe that's what voldemort killed him for Question

Indeed a good book, the best HP I'd even say.
For the theory of Harry being the 7e Horcrux, Dumbledore says in the book that it can't be, cause Voldemort came to Harry to kill him and then make a Horcrux out of him, but he was repelled by the protection of his morther.
so this can be true only if Dumbledore was wrong, which I don't think, since he already was with Snape, he is not the kind of man to get things wrong so often ^^
About Snape, he really is the best char of the book, still I'm hoping of some reason for killing DD, maybe there is..
After all even when he is fleeing from Hogwarts, he gives Harry some advices (something like "Blocked and blocked again until you learn to keep your mouth shut and your mind closed"), and really doesn't want to be treated a coward...well wait and see ^^
