what? this has been the worst kept secret. Just watch the movies and how they play up the Hermione/Ron relationship. It's blatantly obvious.
Also, I was wondering if any of you guys gave any thought to who R.A.B. is?
A lot of people think it's Sirius' brother but the timing doesn't match up since it's expected it would have happened 15 years before the Black's were born. Also, to me it seems a little too obvious of a choice but then again he is the only character that we've heard about but yet to have met.

where does it say that?
I'm just going by what my girlfriend has told me. I think that if you piece together everything that involves Regulus (that is his name right?) the timing doesn't fit for him being able to go and get the horcrux. I'll try and clear it up tonight when my girlfriend gets home.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

ok It wasn't that he wwasn't born until 15 years later, it was that he was only around 15 years old apparently at the time.

oh I thought I should also add that if you read Dumbledore's pleas to Malfoy at the end of the book he mentions that the order can hide Malfoy from Voldemort to ensure that he is safe if he decided to change his mind and come to the Order's side. This could be a hint that perhaps Regulus has been in hiding all of these years with the help of Dumbledore and therefore he would still be alive.
If he is still alive and was the one who took the horcrux he very well could help Harry find the other horcruxes since he was able to already get one. Considering Regulus is his "God uncle" it could fit.

Unless he brought Harry with him to tip off Harry that someone else knows about the horcruxes.

Hahahahahahahaha, the snape thing is great!
Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf
Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...
Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...
So glad you could stay
Forever
He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand
You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..
So glad you could stay
Forever

I was talking to my hygenist today and she said she had an interesting theory. She said that the only peolpe who heard the original prophecy were Dumbledore and Snape. And that back in that book when Harry finds out about it, Dumbledore says he made a vow with Snape. Perhaps it was unbreakable vow, and that is why he trusted him so much. Perhaps a previous vow overrides future contradicting vows?
i don't know if anyone's still interested in discussing this, but jk rowling said some interesting things in an interview recently:
- Other than Harry, Jo would most want to bring Hagrid into the real world.
- There's more to Aunt Petunia than meets the eye, and we'll find out what's unique about her in book seven.
- Don't expect Dumbledore to pull a Gandalf.
- Dumbledore IS really dead. (ha!) "Everyone needs to move through the 5 stages of grief" and get past his death. She also apologizes to DumbledoreIsNotDead.com for ruining the purpose of their site.
- Jo's future after Potter includes taking a long break from writing. She also plans to release a young children's book (currently half written) that is shorter than any Potter novel.
- The librarians in the Potter novels have to be evil, otherwise the students would have nice librarians to help them find all the information they need. "Hermione wouldn't have to do any work!"
- Author Salman Rushdie came up with his son to ask, after a detailed theory, if Snape is good or bad. Jo replied that "your opinion was correct." Rushdie's opinion, unfortunately, was hard to follow.
- After being asked if there was one question fans should have asked by now but haven't, Jo couldn't reference any question in particular.
- While taking a shower before the reading today, Jo said that she had come up with a different title for book seven that would work better than her current title. No word on which title will be used, though.
- Stephen King said he was scared of Death Eaters, to which Jo replied, "I scared Stephen King."
- Moderator Soledad O'Brien asked the three authors who from their books they'd invite to dinner. Stephen immediately said he'd invite Harry and Hermione.
- While Jo is listing the characters who she'd invite to dinner, she names the trio but then pauses. The crowd begins to shout out other characters, but Jo responds, "I'm the only one who knows who lives through the series," accidentally implying that she could only list characters who make it through the final book. Her final two choices (after realizing what she said) were Dumbledore and Hagrid. (people seem to think that by naming the trio before pausing to think about people who survive in the end, she accidentally implied that the trio does survive in book seven)

oh yeah.
I thought that was kind of obvious.
well, only because I'm an uber nerd. But all the goats references. And Dumbledore always being at the Hogs Head and so on.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.
