The Interview

This is going to be a long post.
I re-read the Interview with JKR at the Leaky Cauldron, and I thought the following passages were interesting:

( Some ponderings )

Oooo...Good questions!

1. I don't have any concrete thoughts about what Dumbledore would see in the Mirror of Erised, but the best idea I can come up with would be the end of Book Seven :P

3/5. I think these are both connected and we won't have any sort of Dumbledore resurrection, but via the portrait, Pensieve and other stuff, there will be Dumbledore flashbacks, where we get to know his family and all the rest of it. Aberforth will probably have a hand in it.

6. I think there was a teeny weeny hint about this in HBP when Dumbledore and Harry needed to use someone's blood to get into the cave and Dumbledore insisted on using his own because Harry's was more valuable, or something like that. I think he was being literal, but I don't think he meant money. Harry's blood was shed to bring Voldemort back, and I think it will have to be shed again to take him out *cough*hamletending*cough*

And agreed on Ginny :P

So Harry's blood is the last Horcrux ( everything is horcruxable, it's wonderful! Maybe it's Lily's corpse after all...) !!!

No, seriously, what do you think is so valuable about Harry's blood? Just the mother's-love-protection-thingie or something else?

And I'm pretty sure that Aberforth will feature greatly in Book 7 as well.
Maybe he took Dumbledore's place before he fell from the tower and Dumbledore is still alive! Man I'm a genius!

I honestly don't know what role Harry's blood will play, just that I think it will play one. I think it's more than just the protection he got from Lily, but...I don't know what.

I know The Power of Love (cue Celine Dion) is a huge thing for Harry, but I don't think that's the only power he has that Voldemort neither has nor understands. I think Harry's willingness to die/have his own blood spilled is another strength that Voldemort doesn't understand. How can Harry's ability to die affect the plot? I have no idea. Maybe he'll pull a Lily for the whole world :P

I suck at theorizing...I'm far better at just asking questions that lead everyone else to do it :P

Maybe he took Dumbledore's place before he fell from the tower and Dumbledore is still alive! Man I'm a genius!

Dude, that makes more sense than Pettigrew *shakes head*
