Leave Your Sanity With the Nearest Customs Agent

Still waiting for any thoughts on the newest Harry Potter book. So lets see, what is there to talk about;

Professor Snape-always on of my favorite characters. What about his role in this book? What were your thoughts of Snape after reading Chapter 1? Any predictions about his role further along in the story?

Draco Malfoy-even though I enjoy cheering for the bad guy, Draco is one of those student I never want to have in my class. What do you think he is up to this year? How is he going to annoy Harry Potter this year?

The ending of the book-the last five chapters sucked me in. Thoughts, opinions, reactions to the end of the book. Any predictions for book 7?

Any other thoughts you wish to discuss? I really enjoyed this one, much more than books 4 and 5.
