Heee hee hee. This comment made me laugh so much! Like you I'm so, so curious as to how all of these loose ends will be resolved in one chapter. (A really long epilogue, maybe?)

Like you, I am shocked that Harry hasn't come to the conclusion that he could take it for the team, as you so eloquently put it. Close your eyes and think of England, Harry! :)

The Viola plotline took a very surprising turn. I knew it had to be something shocking - what things go bump in the night? Pervy ghosts, apparently! But seriously, not what I was expecting - I thought maybe she was possessed or something!

Poor Harry and Draco - one daughter dating Dennis Creevy who *is* way too old and the other uh, "seeing" Cedric, who might be the right age but who is way too dead. :) I hope that James is just a late bloomer magically to make up for it. :)

I did see the Abraxas thing coming actually. Usually the people who have the hardest time accepting other people being gay, are usually insecure for some personal reason. The ONLY relatives I have who didn't take the news that I married another woman very well, are the two bachelor uncles who haven't ever had any relationships with women although they are in their 40s.

I'm getting my PhD in genetics and my professional opinion is that third cousins = not really a problem in terms of consanguinity. You and your third cousins aren't really that related. If Malfoy is from the upper crust aristocracy, that shouldn't be at all shocking to him, either. As recently as the first half of the last century, first cousin marriages were very, very common, especially among the upper classes who fancied themselves too good for anyone else. I really know several old European ladies who married their first cousins and at the time, it was totally unremarkable.
