I've got some theories

Okay, first of all, Ryan and I discovered today that there is a muskrat living in the warehouse. There was some initial confusion on what it was, and one theory that it was jut a huge rat, but it's definitely a muskrat. We've decided to befriend, then tame it, with the hopes that one day we can train it to do our warehouse tasks. Outsourcing, it's a wonderful thing. The rest of this post is my thoughts and theories on the new and last Harry Potter book that arrives after midnight tonight, so if you haven't read book six, which you should, and you don't want to know what happens, read no further. But you should check out this picture, which a) is awesome and b) resides somewhere in West Des Moines. Also check out these guys, who love music and Harry Potter, and are some of my friends from up in Ames. Yeaa.



Snape: is he good, is he bad? I just finished rereading The Half-Blood Prince a few days ago, and went very carefully over chapters containing the battle in, and outside of, Hogwarts. There are lots of things to draw on, but the one thing I think that says it clearly is when Harry calls Snape a coward and Snape freaks out on him, declaring that he is indeed no coward, and screams this with a great deal of pain in his voice [page six-oh-four]. My thoughts are that it was incredibly difficult for Snape to go through with what Dumbledore asked him to do, and that it pained Snape very much so to kill the only person that ever trusted and believed in him. So I would imagine that we would find Snape to be a good guy, though he'll have a hell of a time convincing Harry of that. And I would be glad for it to come about this way, it's always good to see redemption, whether in literature or in real life.

Second. Will Harry die? Now, to preface this is the idea that Harry might be a horcrux. But honestly I don't think Harry can be a horcrux, for Voldemort would have wanted to create the horcrux with the most important death that night, that being the murder of Harry Potter, the one of whom the prophecy spoke. But since the curse backfired and Harry survived, Voldemort wouldn't have been able to create the horcrux, if that's what he was even intending to do. So, saying that, I don't think it's necessary to kill Harry to bring closure to the story. But all in all, I think he will face the hero's death. I'd sure like him and the rest of his friends to survive, but I just can't see that happening. I guess we'll find out soon. Okay, that's enough nerdery for one post, enjoy the read my fellow nerds. you have my love.
