That would be nice. Of course, I've thought she could have killed of Harry in book one and just written "Neville Longbottom and the Chamber of Secrets". Which was a long-standing joke in the fandom until we read book 5 and said "oh... it really could have been Neville".
Corin, I don't think she is going to kill off Harry. She has already announced what the last sentence of book 7 is going to be...and he's definitely alive for that one.
There are a lot of little substories that JKR has woven in...and as you know with my obsession with Pippin, I love substories. I'm itching to know what they are.
help me out here Jen - - if JKR is always saying and proving in her stories that things are not always what they appear to be, why must I completely accept that certain characters will never change at all (you know of whom I speak! LOL) That just doesn't sit right with me. I keep thinking "how unfair!"
I'm still not sure it's NOT!
