For the 'shippers out there, from Wikipedia:
Harry, uses it once to summon his parents, Sirius and Lupin.
See what trouble not using the serial comma can get you into?

Just finished and feeling drained. I totally skipped to the end of this thread so I haven't read other observations but I have to say that I was tense all the way through the book and am unbearably sad that none of the Marauders made it out alive and to a happy ending or that the Weaselys lost their Fred.
And wow -- folks are so smart to figure out the Harry is the last Horcrux thing.

Really? I thought that was very common speculation.
Actually, I think just the scar is the Horcrux. Maybe I'm wrong about that. They are all intermingled with the blood and whatnot.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Harry and Voldermort both have Summers blood....

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Really? Voldemort always struck me as more of an Autumn.

One thing I noticed - does Harry ever kill anybody? Do any of the Order of the Phoenix? (Besides Snape killing Dumbledore.) I don't remember from the previous books, but it seems like in this one the good guys used a lot of spells that petrified or controlled the bad guys, or knocked them out or whatever - did I miss any actually killing?
