This thread will be for posting the questions you would like to see answered in Book 7. I would recommend not reading unless you have finished the book since it may contain spoilers!

So whether it is as simple as: will Ron and Hermione hook up? or is R.A.B really a Black? Post away.

How will Hogwarts go on without Dumbledore. It seems like he is the only thing holding it together. Like during CoS. The school was ready to be closed and he was dismissed and everyone was talking about how the Muggles would be attacked right and left without Dumbledore. Then you saw how much everyone seemed to fall apart after the death eaters got into the school and they talked again about closing the school. Dumbledore seems to be the strong one who comes and picks up the pieces after everything falls apart. Even the ministry relies on him. I really didn't think he would die until the last book, so this leaves a lot of questions about how people will organize without him. Should be interesting to find out!

I too wonder how Hogwarts will go on without Dumbledore. I think Dumbledore was the only thing keeping Voldemort and death eaters way from Hogswart. With him gone, Hogwarts is open to evil.

Also, if Harry really is not going back to Hogswart (should it remain open) does that mean Ron and Hermione will also not be returning??

Will Draco turn good in the end? Did his taste having to face what it would feel like to kill Dumbledore wring the badness out of him?

Will Bill turn into a werewolf?

Will Kreacher end up causing a huge problem for Harry?

Will Dumbledore's spirit return in some manner as a help to Harry?

What will Harry's career be? If he doesn't return to Hogwarts, I assume he will not be hired as an auror. Besides, it seems as if he dislikes the Ministry too much to work for them. If he's not an auror, will he return as the new DADA teacher, even without attending his 7th year?

How will Ginny, Percy, Neville, and Luna develop in the final book?

What will Harry do with No. 12 Grimmauld Place?

How will the Dursleys react to his leaving for good? I keep thinking that there might be a little more to their story....

Will all the house elves be freed?

What is the significance of the first chapter of Book 6? JKR kept saying that she'd saved it until it "fit," but it didn't seem to tell me anything more than what I already knew.

Why was Pettigrew staying with Snape?

I'm sure there's more and I'll be coming back later....

Speaking of house elves...we know they have powerful magic...it's been mentioned and also the way Dobby protected Harry from Lucius in CoS... wonder how powerful those houseelves that are loyal to Hogwarts are?

Amy

What happened to the HBP's potions book that Harry hid? I can't remember now if they addressed it at the end of the book. If not, do you think it'll come into play in book 7?

Could Harry be a living Horcrux?

Will Dumbledore and Sirius come back in some form to guide Harry?

Was Voldemort wrong about Harry...and it is actually Neville that the prophecy was about?

Amy

Amy, I also wondered if Harry could be a living Horcrux.

Is this series going to be limited to 7 books? Seems like a triple trilogy in the making, as now it seems it's no longer tied to Harry's Hogwart's career.

I'd personally like to see a five-volume set for Book 7. Somehow, though, I doubt that's going to happen. :laugh:

First, I listened to the book rather than reading it and I'm not sure that Snape did a bad thing in killing Dumbledore. I haven't read much here on the other things posted but here are my thoughts which I didn't discussed more in the book. Remember Dumbledore being so thirsty after he drank the potion and Harry trying to create water in the goblet with his wand but that it kept disappearing. Then, he finally took some water from the lake that Dumbledore drank. I wonder if Dumbledore was dying anyway and that he was turning into an inferi? Dumbledore may have known this and was actually pleading to Snape for a quicker death to come. And, since Dumbledore knew what Draco was up to all along, I believe that he had full knowledge of Snape's unbreakable curse and that he wanted Draco protected with Snape having the assignment. I think there is much more with the Draco, Snape, and Potter stories. I think some interesting things may come out about Lilly & James later as well as Vernon & Petunia. Also, if Snape was all bad, he could've done a lot more damage when leaving the castle. Instead, he was only trying to defend himself and get Draco out. He told the other Death Eaters to leave Harry because Voldemort wanted to kill him but even though he knew it was Draco's mission to kill Dumbledore, he killed Dumbledore anyway. Something doesn't make sense there. Why follow one order but not another? Dumbledore was no threat to Draco so there was no need for Snape to protect him.

I'd like to know the "real" story of why Dumbledore trusted Snape implicitly. Harry offers his reason but I don't recall Dumbledore ever stating that was indeed the reason.

I'm guessing Harry and Jenny will "stay" together and I do think Ron & Hermione will eventually become a couple.

Since Dumbledore told Harry to only share information on Horcruxes with Ron & Hermione, I think that sets the stage in that they will be with him to search for the remaining horcruxes.

Who was RAB? And, did he or she destroy/obtain the other horcruxes? If it was Regulus, I'm betting there will be some horcruxes stored in the Black house that Harry inherited and I'm betting that Creature, the house elf, knows something about them. I also wonder if Harry is a living horcrux? Kind of makes you think about the prophecy of one not being able to live while the other survives, doesn't it?

Will Voldemort kill Draco since he did not kill Dumbledore himself? Does Snape's unbreakable vow mean that he will also have to fight Voldemort if Voldemort tries to kill Draco?

Is there something more with the vampires? They were briefly touched upon in this book. I was wondering if it was leading to something more.

Why did Snape get his panties in such a wad by Harry calling him a coward at the end?

So much more.....that's all I have time to jot down for now.
