Missing portrait
(spoilers ahead for all you people from Mars who still haven't read the book)
I now have another query - on 'HP & DH" of course.
Everytime you read the book, new things strike you. At least, they do strike me.
Ok, the question is, why was there no portrait of Snape in the Headmaster's study when Harry, Ron and Hermione go in there at the end?
Harry, of course, goes in to check with Dumby on what to do with the Hallows. But at the end of book 6, there was a new portrait of Dumby in the room as soon as he died. So why was there not one of Snape, as he had been the Headmaster and had died by then? (Hopefully, Harry would have been humane enough to bury Snape next to Lily).
Also, very conveniently for Harry, he starts reading Voldy's moods again throughout this book. How did this change, from Book 6, when Voldy was employing Occlumency against Harry so he could not read his thoughts? I guess Voldy had other things on his mind in this book...
I am very nearly obssessed, need to get off Potteritis soon... anyway, answers anyone?
And hopefully, no one will still want me to put up spoilers now... but maybe I should, just in case...

hey, it's only a book! :) JKR hasnt tied up all her threads, is all. Although I wish Snape had been given a better deal in ALL the books... imagine how much more I'd have liked him! :)
No, no, no, one of JKR's trademarks is that she is v.efficient at tying up loose ends, so I do want to know why;-) (call me jobless, if you like). I guess she made Snape iffy so that we'd be unable to decide until the end if he was good or bad. And I hear JKR is doing a Potter encyclopedia which will use all her extra info as well as tie up loose ends...but I am not holding my breath as I don't have any idea when it will be out...
Kiwi,
I posted a link for her answers. She covers em all, as expected.
Muni: yup, I did see that - and as expected seeing that she's very very organised, she does tidy it all up as you say...
