"Horcrux"

Here is the deal: If you are a fan of the Harry Potter series, and you have NOT read "Half-Blood Prince" yet, or have not finished it, do NOT read on. Major Spoilers are contained within.

You have been warned.

Calling it as I see it.

R.A.B. is Regulas Black, Sirius brother.

The Silver Goblet that Dung had stolen from Grimauld Place was the missing Horcrux from the Inferi-ridden cave. This would fit in with the typical way Jo lets her mysteries unwind. If R.A.B. was Regulas, then it would fit that he had brought the Goblet to his house, and Dung preceived it only for its value on the street "whether or not he realizes it is a cherished heirloom from Hogwarts past or not is unknown".

This one is being talked about all over the net. Harry (or his scar at least) is the final Horcrux. Whether Voldemort meant this to be or no, it could be that he made Harry a Horcrux when couldn't kill him. (We still do not know why, at the end of "Goblet of Fire", Dumbledore had a look of triumph on his face when Harry explained to him that Voldemort used Harrys blood in the "re-birth" process)

And finally, I am in the boat of shippers that just can NOT believe that Snivellus is evil. I agree with the theory that Dumbledore was dying slowly from the poison and that he knew it. He was pleading with Snape to kill him off. Snape, reading his mind knew this and did so. It would provide the PERFECT smoke screen, as now not a single Death Eater nor Voldemort himself, would suspect Snape of being loyal to the order.

Thats why when Harry calls him a coward, Snape gets so angry. Harry has no idea the courage (and whatever else) it took to kill Dumbledore, or the pain that Snape has had to live with knowing that it was HE who caused Lily Evans to die.

Or I could be wrong. Only time will tell. Two to three years were looking at. Never thought I would care THIS much.

And I for one truly hope that she doesnt pull any "Mr. Spock" moves on us, and bring back DD or Sirius. She said she wont, so great. Good for her, sticking to her guns, not letting the fanbase push her around.

All right, geek moment over.
