2. Because he was going to die in the series no matter what. I was just surprised he was k'o'ed in 6 - I was sure that wouldn't happen 'til 7 ::is still eternally grateful it wasn't Neville::
4. He's not. It's a big conspiracy to make you think he's evil. But he isn't. Yeah.
6. I totally am writing a fic in which a Ravenclaw talks about renaming the House "Slugslime". Oh, the irony...
7. Ditto (though I was hoping for Bill/Tonks, but Remus/Tonks = just as good! ^^)
9. Eh, I can deal with it. I've never been all that fond of the pairing and was rooting for Harry/no one (or Harry/Luna, but Neville/Luna is better. Neville/Ginny is good too ^^)
10. YES.
11. I don't think the Headmistress/-master can also be a head of House. It'll probably be someone new (there'll need to be a new Transfiguration professor anyway). And I'm sure McG will be the new head honcho, as the office seems to have "accepted" her (ie, Dumble painting there already, all set up for new person).
12. Tonks. And Remus will be Transfiguration. And head of Gryffindor ::straight face::
16. Harry/Hermione = teh wrong. I put up with it, but it rubs me the wrong way. ::laughs at H/Hr shippers:: It was doomed from the start! It was always going to be Ron/Hermione! Haha, suckers! (It's good to be a puppyshipper. Makes you hard to disappoint and gives you a tough skin.)
17. IT LIVES. Well, technically it doesn't ask Sirius is dead. But it's still possible! Remus must be bi is all. And don't even start talking to me about Tonks assuming Sirius' face in bed. Ewww... ::is more than slightly squicked::
19. The Shadow knows.
20. The ring is never necessarily associated with Slytherin, just with a Gaunt family ancestor. Mandy says it's a tarot suites thing, and Ravenclaw will have a wand = 7th horcrux
21. No, see above.
22. It shall be the base of Dumbledore's Army, ver. 2.0 the Order of the Phoenix, Jr. Division. Or something like that.
23. He's still dangerous... something's going to go wrong there, mark my words.
24. As I read that, all I could think was, "Oh my, the D/H shippers will never let this one go."
25. Dude, it was necessary! And he's not evil. I swear. It's true. ::nods::

Sorry I'm running late, icon pictures and hihn_p are currently consuming my life in between work :( Tonks is sad, as she has yet to even be placed in a House. (I was thinking Gryffindor, but bluejeans07 was saying Hufflepuff...)

2. I thought he would last till 7 too. And Neville can't die! Don't give her anymore ideas!
4. Even if he isn't evil, I still don't like him. He killed Dumbles.
6. Okay...
11. Yeah, you're probably right.
12. I wish!
16. Yes! R/Hr all the way!
17. Okay... I didn't even think of Tonks changing into Sirius until you mentioned it. *shudder*
20. I heard a theory that Harry's scar is actually a Horcrux.
22. I think the only reason it would be used is if there's absolutely no other choice. I don't think Harry has very fond memories of it.
23. Yeah, unless he can be outsmarted. Everyone will be on their guard after what happened to Sirius.
24. Haha, yeah. And he's denying his feelings for Draco by going out with Ginny! I could so see someone writing that!
25. I'd need proof. Or at least a really, really good theory.

Tonks...

Re: Snape killing Dumbledore, since you still haven't forgiven him for it:

Snape made an Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa to keep Draco safe, help him, and perform the *nameless task* if Draco chickened out. We are told at one point in HBP that failure to uphold an Unbreakable Vow leads to the vow breaker's death. While I do not believe, like some, that Dumbledore was dying throughout all of 6 and that was why Dumble was okay with having Snape kill him, I do believe that Dumble had an agreement with Snape that Snape should kill him if Draco couldn't do it. In fact, he seemed to prefer to have Snape kill him in the show-down, as he was talking Draco out of it, bantering with the other DEs, and *begging* Snape to do something - I presume the "Please... please..." was for, "Please kill me so that you don't have to die." After all, as important as Dumbledore is in the war effort, he truly believes in Snape and I believe that he would sacrifice himself in order to save Snape's life (which is what he does, kinda, by having Snape fulfill the vow). Probably Snape will be back on the Side of Good by 7, even though he looked bad at the end of 6. After all, at the end of GoF it looks like Snape will be a double agent for the Order again, as Voldy says he fears Snape has "left me forever" (which was always my argument against Secret Agent Snape in the second year). But then JKR went and fixed it all in ch 2 of HBP. I see something like that happening with Snape.

Re: Harry/Harry's scar = 7th horcrux:
I don't think so. Dumble states it pretty clearly that all the horcruxes have to be destroyed before Voldy's gonna go down, and that would mean that Harry would have to be killed before hand - after all, I doubt that simply removing the scar from his head would remove stuff like Parseltongue from his brain, and that would be a part of the horcrux if he was a horcrux. And there's no way that JKR is going to not have Harry kill off Voldy. Unless Voldy dies of his own wounds or something, but I think it's gonna be Harry and Godric's spiffy sword.

The squicky "Remus has Tonks look like Sirius in bed" is something other puppyshippers have been coming up with, I am glad to say. I didn't have anything to do with that bit of perversity. (Ewwww....)
