AHAHAHAHAHAHA we were right about R.A.B.! And about Snape! And about Nagini and Harry being Horcruxes, too! And stuff!

And the book still managed to surprise me. A lot. And mostly in good ways.

But. Snaaaaape. ;___;

That was the bit I got spoiler-trolled about, and actually it didn't matter: actually it was good, when the time came, to be warned about that.

I'm disappointed that Neville only made it to Herbology professor, though. I'd always hoped he'd at least become DADA teacher, and I really liked fuchs' version of him being headmaster.

And what's with the stupid names? I mean. XENOPHILIUS. Or "Pius Thicknesse". Were we feeling a wee bit unsubtle?

I do have to say, however, that I find it extremely annoying when I have to read loooooong passages in italics.

And now I go to bed.

*nods* I was hoping all through the book that she'd reveal in the end that he had acted on Dumbledore's orders, but I was so certain that even if she hadn't, I would've stuck to that belief ;)

I was glad we found out for certain though, and why.

Definitely. I really loved the hole Snape/Lily backstory. I had hoped for some sort of unrequited love story ever since that Pensieve episode in Order of the Phoenix, and it was GOOD to see it in print!

I sort of thought it was that too, though I know there are people who hate it.
