For anyone who's finished Deathly Hallows already(I read it in 8 hours)was anyone else surprised by the revelation that Snape was in love with Harry's mom and was willing to do anything to protect her sacrifice, including killing Dumbledore, at his request? I was STUNNED by the fact that all along he was really on Dumbledore's side. After all, he killed the man, but that was all part of the bigger plan. Not to mention the fact, that at one point Petunia(Lily's Sister) had asked Dumbledore if she could attend the school, too? No wonder she was sooooo bitter. He said no:) Lily and Snape were friends! Another shocker. What shocked me the most was the death of Lupin and Tonks, right after Tonks had their baby. How sad. And of course Fred Weasley. Mad Eye, not so much...but poor Hedwig. That really hurt. I know how much Harry loved that Owl. It was all the more shocking to find out that Harry had also had one of the Hallows(his cloak)and that Dumbledore had always had the stone and the wand. It was a great secondary plot. And of course the way everything got twisted around on Voldemort, he he. That was always going to happen. He underestimated Dumbledore and most of all Harry. And yes, the poor boy died, but he came back and that was the best part. Of course, Narcissa's lie to Voldemort didn't hurt. That was the most interesting part of the whole thing. The Malfoys helping Harry. It was totally awesome. What does everyone else think?

Snape will die, Burbage will die, Hedwig will die, Mad eye will die, Scrimgeour will die, Wormtail, dobby (the elf) will also die, Fred Weasley, Lupin and Tonks will die. Actually im not surprised by their deaths. Then after 19 years Hermione and ROn will have 2 children Rose and Hugo, ang Harry and Gunny will have 3, Albus, James and Lily.

I wasn't in the least bit surprised that Snape was on the side of good, even if he was never exactly nice. I've always had a sense of sympathy for Snape. you could just tell he'd had a horrible past. and this just confimed my previous beleifs that James was a bully.

I too was shocked that Snape was a good guy, according to what I have read, Harry would not die and he will have childrens and he name his daughter Lily and the his son Albus. McGonagall is the new headmistress. Yeah, Lupin and Fred Weasley will die. ""According to the web I've browsed they say that Ron will die, Bellatrix will kill Ron and sOme say voldemort will kill hermione (6 long pages, Hermione will protect Ron from voldemorts imperious curse then finally die"" is it true??
