Navy Power School lost power today. Ironic?
The buildings windows do not open, for security reasons, so there was no air. We stayed for about two hours, and I got a lot done, but then they told us we could go home for a while, as long as we were back by noon. So I got a three hour lunch break. A nice nap was involved.
I also finnished reading HP.
Yeah, she's not very good at tying up loose ends, just making you think she has before she creates whole new puzzles. She could easily do ten more books, and will probably have to.
Unless she kills Harry off, which is possible... (Who said this had to be a happy story, after all)
I still don't like that the kids cuss now, and it has nothing to do with their ages. The older folks in the books didn't have a habit of being foul mouths. In the last book, Fred and George were the age our Heros are in this one, and they were even more well behaved.
Harry isn't a very good kid really. Magic aside, he Cusses, Cheats, Lies, back talks, and is potentually a high school drop out. He's selfish and has anger managment issues, too.

When?
I don't remember him lying to anybody, except to Snape or another bad person. No, just Snape. That's the only one I can think of now.When did he cheat?
Remember, the Sorting Hat originally wanted to put Harry into Slytherin. Now we see why. He's got a selfish, rotten streak. Still better than his dad, though. At least he's not a bully.
So, I predict that later on, young Malfoy is going to turn good and save the day, perhaps by killing Snape in some heroic moment. His reasoning won't be because he started liking Harry. It will be because he doesn't want to end up being friendless and lonely, like all of the other Death Eaters are.

Re: When?
I think Voldermort will end up killing snape himself, just to prove that he is still number one. As malfoy predicted, Snape is undoubtedly going to recieve huge amounts of fame and glory from the death eaters. Voldermort, while glad to have a such a faithful servent, does not share the spotlight.Harry and Ron both cheat. A lot. Rather than writing their own papers and researching things on their own, they just copy Hermione's work. Also, it's generally not a good idea to just copy down answers from the back of the book and call them your own, which is similar to what Harry was doing with the Half Blood Prince. Getting credit for doing something you didn't do is cheating.
Harry lies to Snape about the half blood prince. He also decieves Slughorn with regards to the same topic, and I think he lied to Slughorn about missing the slug club meetings. In the last book (or the one before that) Harry lied to dumbledoor. Harry lies so often that on the special occasions when he decides to tell the truth, Ms Rowling makes a special note of it.
