Burying Dobby: Oh this is so achingly sad. I'm glad Harry has the sense to love and revere Dobby for all he's done. Quite an about-face from the exasperation he felt in the beginning.
Luna + Harry: FTW. She's wonderful. :)
Shell Cottage: It sounds like a positively wonderful place. I could use a place like that right now.
Fidelius: Ok, if the Weasley's are protected at Aunt Muriels under Fidelius, how is Bill telling Harry about it? *confused*
Harry's "prayer": He's smart! Finally, folks, he's figured it out! Am I meant to know, but not to see? Did you know how hard I'd find that? Is that why you made this so difficult? So I'd have time to figure that out? And Hermione was closer than she thought with her guess.
Griphook: He's an interesting creature. Sometimes he seems to respect Harry; other times he seems unable to look past the fact that he's another "wand-carrier"... Another throwback, I'd guess, to the tensions created around the general groups of opressed and opressors, whether individuals were

Voldemort & Hogwarts: I hate how he thinks of Hogwarts as his "birthright". It most certainly does not belong to him. Ollivander: Wandlore does seem like a very fascinating subject. Sometimes I wonder about Ollivander. He sometimes sounds a bit amazed with the Dark Lord...enthralled by his power. I do not believe that Ollivander wanted Voldemort to win though. It's just very interesting. But I agree, Ollivander is first and foremost a scholar. He is positively fascinated with the idea of combining Voldemort (terrible, but great power) with the Elder Wand (great power with a bad reputation). Griphook: He's such a goblin! I mean no disrespect to him for that. Wizards grow up with prejudices, but so do goblins. Sometimes both sides have to give in a little for the real story. Griphook is absolutely horrible. Luna: She's the best. Spaced out and definitely off her rocker, but absolutely brilliant and amazing.
Agreed! But I remember them saying something to that effect in OotP, that even if you're told, unless you're told by the secret keeper, you could look and look but never find it. I can't double check, though, because I lent my book away and haven't gotten it back yet. :(

I think Bill can tell them about it, but unless they are told specifically by Arthur, they wouldn't be able to get there.
