Dumbledore's pleas reeked of begging Snape to continue playing the villian.Hopefully he can do something to prove his worth in book 7 to help make up for how lame he looked in the OotP flashbacks. The fact that we still have no idea why Dumbus trusted Snape means it will have to be discussed in book 7, and is therefore important. If it has anthing to do with an unrequited love for Lily, it is incredibly silly that we STILL know nothing about her. Book 7 better be LOOOONG. There's way too much stuff to do. Now there's THREE people on the evil side that will either take a bullet for the good guys or cross over. Draco has proven to NOT be evil, just a jerk and possibly a coward.  Snape is definitely up to something. And Wormtail still owes Harry and Ron, and if he doesn't take a bullet for Ron in book 7, I will be extremely ticked off.I would LOVE to see one of the good guys join Voldemort to balance the scale, but absolutely none of them have been pointed in that direction.  The tedious flashbacks were sure a long, complicated way to say "Voldermort has split his sould into 7 pieces, in order to defeat him, we must first destroy the other six pieces." Would have been better served to trim these down in favor of something else. Ron and Hermione were all but absent from OotP and here their relationship seems to take a giant step backwards.  Or at least we ignore the subtle progress the two of them have made in favor of making everything brutally obvious so the nimrods who kept thinking Hermione would wind up with Harry could buy a clue.Seeing Hermione playing stupid make-Ron-jealous games was just bizarre.  I know she is prone to crying fits when upset, but she has never shown signs of being this ridiculous. As much as I missed them in the last book, they were really irritating in this book. Not sure why they've become lame secondary characters instead of relevant important pieces of the story.Harry and Ginny got their big kiss, while Ron and Hermione looked like idiots. Whatever.And don't even get me started on the continued lack of importance given to Neville and Trevor. But hey, let's shoe-horn in a relationship between Tonks and Lupin. That won't be too out-of-place and forced. There was less comedy in this book than the others,  the pacing continues to be wonky, and the best line went to Fleur? (what the? you KNOW you did something wrong when the best line goes to a 5th-string character) RAB is most probably Regulus, as it gives us a clue to check the house, to check Mundungus, etc etc. The last two Horcruxes? I've always said I thought there was more of a connection between Voldemort and Harry, but I don't think this one makes sense with Death Eaters trying to kill Harry.</blockquote>
