Yes I agree about Snape being evil!</p>
<p>I don't think RAB is Regulus Black. It just doesn't seem subtle enough.</p>
<p>Maybe there are other possibilties - what if someone is known more commonly by his/her middle name? </p>
<p>Amelia Bones? She was killed after all.</p>
<p>Yeah I know it's lame. But I'm not happy with the regulus theory

<p>Somehow I find it unlikely that RAB stands for "Amelia Susan Bones".</p>
<p>Call me crazy.</p>
<p>In the (unlikely?) situation that RAB isn't Black or someone else with those initials, what if R A and B are three people? I still find it incredibly hard to believe that someone who was never very impressive (in Sirius's, Voldemort's and Slughorn's opinion) was able to do what not even Dumbledore could do alone. That Horcrux's defense was designed for more than one person, no?</p>
<p>You all have great points....I agree with many of your ideas and thoughts. Sad thing is is that we have to wait a long time for the next book to come out.</p>

<p>I think it is only one person. Read the note again... It sounds like it is from one person.</p>
<p>"To the Dark Lord
I know I will be dead long before you read this
but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret.
I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can.
I face death in the hope that when you meet your match,
you will be mortal once more.
R.A.B."</p>
<p>He keeps saying I so it has to be from one person. It could be Black because Sirius said that his brother probably got in too deep. This seems like a likely reason why he would die and Rowling had to have added him in for some reason.</p>
<p>The whole introduction to Inferi kept me expecting there to be a point in the book where Voldemort would use Sirius' dead body to fight Harry. That would be unnerving...</p>
<p>It was pretty good. I don't give a crap about Ginny, though. I don't know at what point she became some sort of diva that we're supposed to like. This was more like a build up for the 7th book, which should be unbelievable. I'm still waiting for Harry to become a powerful wizard on his own. Learn some new spells, buddy. Learn how to block curses. If he expects to kill Snape, he'll have to do it without the magic of love.</p>
<p>yea, wat the hell is ginny's popularity? she basically dissapeared from 2-4. appeared in 5 a bit. and in 6, shes suddenly like the most popular grl in the school or sumthing. thats weird. and why the hell does harry suddenly have the hots for her anyways?</p>
<p>HAHA get this. I just realized that the week when my sis broke up with her bf of over a year is the same week he told her what happens at the end of HP before she read it. They're at most a few days of each other. Coincidence? I think not!!!</p>
<p>Maybe jk rowling got the idea of ginny & harry from her fans ..
the book seemed kinda random and stupid
and i'm still mad that she killed dumbledore .. you'd think he die a respectable death, not while dying on some broom stick pleading to snape ..
And I don't think dumbledore or harry are horcruxes, i think harry will die anyway .. but i don't know, i th0ught you had to enchant the "thing" that would be the horcrux .. it just doesn't seem really likely ..
And you know how they kept alluding to the phonix at the end.. couldn't the phoenix cry on bill to fix his face? or was it too late, damage already done?</p>
<p>SNAPE IS NOT EVIL.</p>
<p>get that through your heads...</p>
<p>Concerning Ginny.....I am not appealed at the fact that Harry's interested in her and that they are somehow going out...because Harry has been often compared to his father regarding the similarity between their features, I can't help feeling a little disappointed that the person whom Harry might soon fall in love overtime will look a lot like his mother Lily, with long curly red hair and pretty face. That is so unoriginal and Harry needs some more distinct differences between his parents' lives. Besides, Rowling has already implied, more or less, that Ginny's feelings for Harry were over at the earlier books and the fact that she's bringing them back now is very...unexpected and I found it boring.
Just my thoughts.
P.S I believe Snape to be innocent from what Harry believes.</p>
