| | |  Rumor: Hint of death identity in last Potter (SPOILER)
Does the identity of the bust signed by JK Rowling give us a clue to one of the deaths in book 7? As we reported earlier, she finished the seventh book while staying at the five-star Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh. Before checking out, she marked the occasion with a tantalising inscription scribbled on the back of a Roman-style bust. Quote:
According to one report, the bust depicts Hadrian, the Roman emperor who built the eponymous wall to divide Roman Britain from the “barbarians” in the north.
The hotel says the identity of the bust incorrect, but if it is correct here are a few very interesting facts. The wall is known as Hardrain's wall. After falling into ill repair, it was later restored by Emperor Septimius Severus and passes near the Yorkshire village of Snape.
This is leading many to believe that Potion Master Severus Snape is one of the deaths in book 7. We will have to wait until July 21 to discover if this more than a rumor.

Wow, if it is and she planed that, she must really think in odd [different] ways. And I think that I think outside the box.
On a side note:  Yeah, the info came from India! [Sorry, that's just me, anything having to do with Indian and I get excited, by looking at the avvie, you can clearly tell why.  ]

Very interesting. I wonder if those were her intentions, or maybe she did it just so we could all start over analyzing the simplest things. She is silly like that. Either way I've always believed that Snape would die, so I'm not surprised.  Cool info!  | |

Am I the only one who thinks 'restored' is a keyword and would therefore not hint at his death but at his importance in the story?
Nevermind, I think we should take a deep breath and treat it as a theory...but an interesting one, I must say...

I don't get that's there's a death from this quote.
The whole thing about Severus the Roman and the village of Snape all points to being about restoration. It screams to be about the restoration of Snape's reputation and position in wizarding society when it is ultimately revealed that he was a good guy working for the Order and that his actions with Dumbledore were part of a secret pact made between the two.
JKR is very clever and her choice of Snape's name obviously stemmed from these historic and geographic facts and was part of her plan all along - to see Snape crumble but to eventually be restored towards his former glory.

Too far into it. Especially since the hotel is saying it isnt. I think they would know best.

If Snape dies I will cry. That'll be just mean. He's too much of a complex, gripping character to kill off.

Nevermind, I think we should take a deep breath and treat it as a theory...but an interesting one, I must say... Restored was my word. Hadrian Wall wasn't a complete rebuid so when the paper used it I chose to change it. I couldn't quote the entire article. The article used rebuilt.
You make an interesting point about Snape being restored. Restore to good name perhaps? I have always had a struggle with Snape's character. I love to hate him but then I ponder if there is more than meets the eye. I even thought at one time he might be James in disguise. Dumbledore was human but his skill at mind reading were outstanding so I doubt that Snape could guard his intentions for 16 years from him. Snape owes Harry for James saving him and for telling Voldermort about what he had heard at the Hog's Head.

| I have another teory.... if it is Hermes... Okay, Hermes killed a monster called Argos, this monster had 100 eyes and never slept, J.K. Rowling is said to have gotten the name Argus (Flitch) from this monster.... so maybe he dies.... (I like that better than harry dying... and I still can't decide wether Snape is bad or not!!!) |
