I didn't care much about Fred's death. It was said but the odds were one of them was going to die, after all there are 9 Weasleys in total all fighting, you do the maths. I did feel for Percy at this point though (I heart Percy just a little bit) because he'd only just been reconciled to his family (though I don't know why he bothered, if they were mine I think I'd just see Ron, Bill and Charlie as and when, but change my name to Weatherby).
"Maybe Harry suffers from A.D.D.?" Made me laugh so much because it explains so much about Harry. Give hermione a task and she will stick to it religiously, give Neville a task and he will complete it, even with his bad memory. Give Harry a task and he'll spend months obsessing about something else or going "oh look a squirrel" or something...I mean seriously Harry, people are dying here! And all we get is "Oh look a giant"! "Or, he might step on a teacup and bleed to death" is so true and would be a much more fitting end for our hero.
Why oh why oh why oh why did Snape have to die? (Yes and why didn't Voldie just do the job quickly, surely as his "most faithful DE yadda yadda" he would want him to die swiftly, and the AK is nice and quick) The only purpose the whole Nagini bite thing serves it that it gives us a way out of it, so we can pretend he had a potion in his pocket to sort the problem out, or some other fanwank. I have so much more to say on this subject, such as the pathetic scrap of recognition he will get for giving the best part of 20 years of his life to the cause and dying for nothing at all! Well at least he and Sirius Black can now bitch all the way through the afterlife about who had it hardest. Coincidently, how long did it take them to get to Arthur Weasley when he suffered the same fate and survived? Continuity thy name is not JKR is it...
