OMG! I just finished the books minutes ago. I think this series stopped being a children's book around book 4.
I was so sad about DD. I hope that he is still alive, but I don't think it will happen. I wish it would though. The last few books have been all about death- and no one has come back. If Snape had an unbreakable vow with Malfoy's mom, how could he break it. I woldu love to see in the next book Snape was really on DD's side and he is alive= but I'm not holding my breath. This book reallly showed the vulnerability of DD- first with the hand, then with the weakness after drinking the potion, and then with his death. I think Rowlings wants to show that strength and vulnerability are not mutually exclusive.
Interesting theories- I can't wait until book 7. I have a feeling it will end with the Harry killing Voldermort and then himself- I think that he is a Horcrux and he will realize the only way to truly kill Voldermort is to kill himself.
I kind of miss the first few books where everything had a happy ending- Book 4 was the last one that it happened. Book 4, 5, and 6 all ended with the death of a good characther. It seems like she is preparing for the final big death. JMO.
ETA: Ihave just finished rereading The Goblet of Fire. They put such emphasis on Dumbeldore trusting Snape and comparing DD's trust of Snape to his trust of Hagrid. To be congruent with the other book, Snape would have to be on the right side. Why else did he save HP in teh first one? However, congruency doesn't always win out.
I hope the final book answers all the questions. I can't wait for it!!
