A few more thoughts on DH

[owl]

This time last week I was busy reading.

I did start the book at the beginning (my hands were shaking a little bit with excitement), but at about a third of the way through I couldn't bear the suspense and flipped open the epilogue. Then I sat on bed and giggled for about a minute.

A couple of things I was thinking.

How was Colin Creevey around for the battle at Hogwarts? He's Muggle-born, isn't he?

I would have liked to see one of the school aged Slytherins staying for the fight—Millicent Bulstrode or someone random. Or Harry telling Albus that the Slytherins weren't the Death Eater youth League any more.

Talking of Slytherins, those ficcers who want to emulate Cassandra Claire and write Harry/Hermione/Draco threesomes have now just been handed version 2.0 with Albus, Rose (who will be exactly like her mother and nothing like Evol Ron, natch) and Scorpius. By the laws of dramatic irony Albus has to be a Slytherin, or Rose marry Scorpius, or both.

When did Dumbledore work out that Harry was a Horcrux? And how does the Harrycrux work with 'neither can live while the other survives'?

Apparently cousins is healthy. I kid you not.

Seriously?

Seriously. Apparently it somehow reduces the likelihood of certain genetic abnormalities. I can't remember where it was exactly that I read this, but the article said something about the Jewish community and using that as evidence - something to do with shtetls (sp?) or something. It was a while ago, but I'm pretty sure it was bona fide...
