I haven't been on BoS trolling harry potter threads for ages...
Here are some interesting things that none of you have probably mentioned.
Remember in book 3 when Trelawney refused to go to sit down at Christmas lunch because 12 people were there and she said "When 13 dine together the first to rise will be the first to die"? Well there were 13 there already - Scabbers (Pettigrew) was in Ron's pocket. Dumbledore was the first to stand up - to get Trelawney a chair - and he was the first to die.
At Harry's Birthday party there were precisely 13 people sitting down for the meal (some others such as Arthur who was still atthe ministry or Molly who was wandering around weren't sitting). The first to rise were Tonks and Lupin, then Fred. Foreshadowing much?
Also, remember in book 1, when Oliver Wood said to harry "Catch the snitch or die trying"? Well, turned out that comment about that particular snitch meant more than meets the eye.
The last line "All was well" is not as simplistic as it seems. Its actually a reference to Scott-Holland's poem "Death is nothing at all". Like HP it talks about the effects of death friends or those who die for other people, but in the end shows its not that bad and says "All is well".
Mad-Eye Moody isn't dead. He just went mad. You may notice his eye was taken from him. What else do we see in Diagon Alley but a slightly-mad looking man, with a hatred for Bellatrix, and a bloody rag covering one eye?!!?
Anyway sorry if this stuff has been said before. I have my first trial HSC exam (english) in 3 hours and just didnt feel like reading the thread.
