Done!
Could you kindly add me to your ping list? :)
Just finished the book and was stunned at the ending. I tend to agree that Snape was acting a part assigned to him by D, but that D really is dead and gone (unless he used a Horcrux, and we all know he would eschew any such Dark magic). I had Snape pegged as the HBP after the proficience at potions became apparent, but I completely missed who RAB was. Thanks to those who pointed that out.
I'm glad that we learned more of LV in this one. I am a fan of complex villains and enjoyed D and LV's weird relationship. Can't wait for 7!
