I'm totally up for non whitefont HBP discussion here. And not just because I just finished the book today. Okay maybe a little bit because of that.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Yay for non-whitefont HBP discussion!!

Sirius is still dead??

I really need to reread previous books. I totally forgot that Sirius was dead. I still can't remember exactly how he died.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

He fell through the gate-veil thing at the Dept. of Mysteries.

I need to go back and read through all of them, and see what seeds have been sown but not yet reaped. Also, who Regulus was, apart from Sirius' brother.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I don't think V wins, but I do think (hope) Harry dies. I'd like to have it end that way.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

It would be nice, but, IMO, highly unlikely. Like Snape-is-actually-evil unlikely.

I'm thinking Snape isn't evil, and Dumbledore ordered his own hit. And from the whitefont in Literary that I skimmed, it looks like that's almost the consensus of this board. Do you think the typical Whedonverse villian path of redemption has ruined us?
