this is evan and i am commenting.

okay, i understand the horcrux idea, it's a very good one, but i still don't believe it. i don't think rowling would have it that way because its a theory that is too popular, its almost predictable. but not just that, from the way dumbledore described horcruxes it seemed like a fairly dark and difficult thing to do, so i feel like it doesn't just happen by accident. i mean you don't just accidentally rip your soul in two, it sounded like a complex tear of the soul and putting it in a predetermined object.

what i have read and find interesting is a lot of people theorizing that snape is actually good. that dumbledore told him to kill him, and they keep bringing up the argument hagrid overheard in the middle of the book its on page 405. we never found out what this was about but people are saying dumbledore might have told snape he that if it came down to it he might have to kill him to keep his cover etc etc. it seems unlikely, but i think there's more to it than the horcrux idea. i think it will also lead to a more interesting story, especially since harry hates snape now and i feel like snape will be killed or sacrifice himself and harry won't realize till the end that snape was actually helping. not to mention at the end when snape is blocking all of harry's curses he says something like "blocked again and again and again until you learn to keep your mouth shut and your mind closed, potter!" referring to the occlumency and nonverbal spells, so some people think this sounded like advice.

so i don't know, if you really think about it for a while it seems horribly possible, making the waiting for the 7th book that much more unbearable!

man, i don't know what to think anymore. thats a really good point - it would totally suck to accidentally split a soul in two, and is probably fairly unlikely.

jk rowling is an absolute genius. in fact, they should make an absolut genius ad with her picture on it, with her having a scar on her forehead in teh shape of an absolut bottle. that most likely wouldn't happen, though, because she probably wouldn't endorse alcohol.

also, i had a really good harry potter conversation with sara on friday night, but given that i was kind of drunk when i had it, i honestly can't remember what we talked about.
