Calling All Harry Potheads!!
Since the new book comes out this weekend, this is really our last chance to theorize about what might happen in this book.
I have a theory about Professor Severus Snape and specifically why Dumbledore doesn't want him teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts. Not a huge revalation, of course. But when you think in terms of hitting "rock bottom" and recovery and all that...the Dark Arts are Snape's "drug of choice". So even though Snape may think that he, himself is "cured" of his addiction to the Dark Arts; Dumbledore knows that if Snape should indulge himself in anything DA related he could easily relapse.
It appears from the information given, that Snape was a powerless kid who latched onto hating "mudbloods" rather than dealing with his own shit. That is why rascism is so prevailent amongst the poor and uneducated. People stuck in a rut with no will to change often look for someone to blame (see Germany pre WWII).
I'm also hoping we get to see Snape do some serious "spy" stuff amongst the Death Eaters and that Karkaroff shows himself at least long enough to be killed.
So let's have it, people.
What are you most interested in with the new book?
Percy making up with the folks? Ron and Hermione actually going on a date?
Hagrid knocking up Olympe? Tell Wednes all about it...
