Book Seven Predictions
antosha_c participated in a "Book Seven Predictions" Meme today, and I couldn't resist trying my hand. bandcandy has done something similar in the past, but I was able to maintain self-control in her case. Now I've lost it, and I have to give in. I'm listing AC's predictions below in italics and replying to them; then I'll add my own.

We know, though, that Lily's eyes in Harry's face have some tremendous importance, and that there's something significant about Lily we haven't learned yet. Nor has Snape's behavior immediately after Dumbledore's death been explained. The unrequited love explanation is the neatest, most efficient explanation and I think we've been building toward it.
As to the Epilogue, Rowling has said (as Tolkien said) that the primary topic of the series is death. The appendices (essentially epilogues) to LotR showed us the lengthy lives and accomplishments, and eventually deaths, of the characters. In The World According to Garp (in which the protagonist says, "A novelist is a doctor who sees only terminal cases"), the epilogue takes us through the entire lives, including the deaths, of all the remaining characters, including the baby who eventually dies in middle age of cancer. Jo's already said she'll show us the future of the survivors -- I think it's going to be a long future.
Now about this bet, 3 to 1, huh? Does that mean that if I bet you a 1000 word story to a prompt/pairing of your choice, I get a 3000 word story back to a prompt/pairing of my choice?
Done and done. If Neville's wand turns out to be a horcrux, I'll write 3,000 words on any topic you choose. But if it doesn't, I get 1,000 girlyswot words.
