I admit I was *totally* looking forward to some story with the twins where their greed made them do something bad. And not because I thought they were so terribly greedy they were awful or anything either. I thought they were just understandably tempted by money and good at rationalizing and of course never aware of themselves slipping into arrogance and selfishness. It would be so easy.
LOL! I forgot about how Dumbledore's murder isn't investigated murder. Except for rumors that Harry did it that don't really go anywhere since everyone is still counting on him. That just made me wonder why people didn't think Harry killed Cedric! He was alone with the kid then, as far as anyone knew, and he had a motive.
Re: Hermione's logic, yes, that's exactly the kind of thing that is so enjoyable in the books when they work well. Rowling's really good at coming up with stuff that looks like one emotional state but is in fact something else.
Harry drowning would have been too funny. It would just be so believable. And Snape's Patronus would probably have to save him somehow, muttering all the while about what an idiot he was. But then, was it really necessary to put the sword at the bottom of a frozen puddle? Besides the fact that it's done in so many myths?
