HP7: A feminist thought and a fannish question

Feminist Thought
Because HP is, after all, a children's book, there is no explicit swearing in it. When people swear, it's just in the narration that someone is swearing under their breath. The one swear word that makes it into the book: "Bitch." This seems like a good site for some feminist critique. Also, it's been bothering me, so I had to say something about it.

Fannish Question
The last three books have been very fannish, in the sense that they fit right in with all kinds of fan fic plots I've read. Does this mean that the HP universe is so well laid out that anyone can see what's going to happen?
