Spoiler: I was totally shocked by the ending of the book. I really forgot for some odd reason that someone was supposed to die in this book.
The thing I haven't read here and don't know if anyone has thought about it, but Dumbledore will still be around. At the end of the story when Harry went to Dumbldore's office with McGonagall, JK wrote that "Dumbledore was slumbering in a golden frame over the desk, his half-moon spectacles perched upon his crooked nose, looking peaceful and untroubled." This seems like an excellent way to keep Dumbledore involved in the story running between his frame and one at the Ministry of Magic or to 12 Grimmauld Place or anywhere. So I don't feel so bad about Dumbledore being dead, because he isn't really. He is still going to be able to be a character, only now he will only be acting through his frame. (If it works out that way)
The whole thing about Snape really confises me. I don't see what Snape could have done or said to make Dumbledore trust him so implicitly. I hope that is something that we find out. Maybe another Penseive moment?
Well, I liked the book. It wasn't as good as some of her previous books, but I still liked it. And I also liked the relationship between Lupin and Tonks. I just think they make a good pair for some reason. Anyway, my $0.02 about it.
