harry potter and the half blood prince - WITH SPOILERS

--- Quote from: Tactical Error ---I just thought of another small thing to support the wild theory of Dumbledore's not being dead. Remember in Goblet of Fire that Moody said you have to really mean it for the Avada Kedavra curse to work. Well, Snape could have cast the spell without the desire to kill Dumbledore and to everyone watching it wouldn't look any different.

I think thats a good point. After all, when it was cast on Cedric Diggory, he didnt go flying, and neither did Harry's mum, so why did it with dumbledore?
My thinking is, without enough backing behind it it just has a similar effect as stupefy or expelliarmus, which just sent him flying.
Also, it would make sense that he feigned death to svae both snape and Malfoy. If snape intended to kill him, but didnt WANT to, his believing that Dumbledore was dead may have been enough to fulfill the vow.
I also have the sneaking suspicion that Dumbledore will be horucrux hunting as well, just not with Harry and Co.

Also, i hated the whole H+G thing. There was no inkling of intrest in Ginny from harry until this book, and then hes freaking batshit for her. It seemed near the end, Rowling thought, "Bah, that was stupid, fuck it" and just broke it off. And for some reason i always saw Ginny as so much younger and less mature than harry even though they were only a year apart.

AND HERMIONE AND RON STILL HAVENT HOOKED UP! ZOMG!

Quoted for emphasis.

deborah:
i always thought harry and ginny was obvious from the second they announced she had a crush on him
plus they look like miniature versions of his parents (in the movies at least)

plus i think ron and hermione have had the unspoken agreement to hook up since viktor left town
at least they seemed to have some kind of understanding about it during book five
i figure in book six, ron is just being stupid with lavender and hasn't realized that resistance is futile.  i mean, he's been acting like a jealous little twit about hermione since book four.

Hooray for creeping me out more about it!
Sorry, but if me and my girlfriend looked like young versions of my parents that would scare me on so many levels.
Plus, everyone knew she liked him at one point, but she had pretty much no obvious interest in books 4 and 5, as she had Dean and other boys.

deborah:
i don't know...there's always the old adages about boys wanting a girl just like dear old mom, and girls marrying men just like their fathers, etc.

it just seemed like a good symmetry within the books, and using basic stereotypes about how boys and girls behave, it made a lot of sense that their relationship went down the way it did.  you know, girls playing hard to get, boys' perfect girls sitting under their noses the entire time...

and i think that as people get older, being like their parents isn't as offensive as it seems when growing up.
