| | 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.

OMG! I thought maybe Snape would be one! But I don't want him to die! *Cries* Snape is one of my favourite characters!!!
But, wow that would be weird! I have a feeling Bellatrix dies though, who is my FAVOURITE character! And I think Neville kills her!
I won't mention who I WANT to die (Lets face it, 2 are dying and I don't want my favourite characters to die so I'm choosing someone else I want to die.) Because if I did mention his/her name, then people might start bashing me because of it, lol! So yeah...my lips are sealed.
...please don't let it be Bella who dies, but it probably will be!

Whoa! That's awesome! I would have never thought of that. Wow.
To tell the truth, I wouldn't be sad if Snape died at all, I s'ppose.

I was kind of expecting Snape to die anyway so I wouldn't be too surprised if this was what JKR was pointing out. I think the bigger question is, will he die a redemptive death fighting for good or will he die at the hands of good for his crimes in book 6?

Snape may die, but I won't be happy. You will all see in book 7 that Severus WAS on the correct side all along...Trust in Snape...
GO COLTS!!!!!!!

I wouldn't be surprised if Snape died. I also wouldn't mind. Cool way to figure it out.

How interesting. Everything JK does seem cool and it would be incredibly cool if she actually did that as a clue. It would be awesome.

If it is true, I'd be severly disappointed because I love Snape.
But sometimes I think people tend to read into things too much, so we'll just have to wait and see :-)

That could be true...or a totally coincidence. If Snape is gonna die, I will cry. I believe he is good through and through.

Though he could end up good, idk, but he's too greasy.
That's interesting, though ... that, or, people are just reading too much into it. Either way, it's cool.

Wow....she never stops dropping hints! Although I do find that a bit hard to believe that's what she meant - obviously it's not a coincidence, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's dying....ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!

I wouldn't mind is Snape died. He's just ... mean. He totally deserves it!
I don't think I'll be able to wait 'till the 21st of July.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Ottery St. Catchpole Third Year | Some people seriously need a new hobby Paris & Kellybear r luv :Read Otty 's fics:Gone With the Wind:I♥Rupert I can't help but feel sad for people who go out of their way to define, lucky chance. If indeed it was even that. Since the hotel allegedly says that's not the bust ... what are the odds Jo knew that bust was there? Or did she have it sent up ... I mean seriously ... besides everyone knows Snape is going to die ... or not ... I think it's just lucky circumstance if he does die, and really some people just read waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much into this stuff. She'd have to know the bust was there to begin with and have planned it all along, and for what? To ruin the ending? Seriously people it's just a few months away and every Greek and Roman had a bust ... and every other one of Jo's characters has some kind of Roman or Greek allusion in their, seriously stop ... July isn't so far away. OMG! I'm being logical.

Yeah, we don't know if JKR even really did sign that bust, did she or her spokespeople confirm it?
Also, in the words of Gandalf the Gray/White, don't be so eager to deal out death and judgement unless you can do it yourself. I think JKR is a master literary genius because she gives us this nasty character in Snape, a loathsome individual who has killed a person, and yet so many people don't...want...him...to...die. Myself included. We LOVE Snape!
I think the only way he CAN be redeemed though is if he dies. Which is very very sad. Otherwise, if he is evil, he'll end up in Azkaban (just desserts. There are some fates worse than death, and after seeing how Bellatrix and Sirius turned out from their time behind bars, I wouldn't wish Azkaban on anyone!)
Kudos to JKR for once again mystifying the entire fandom!

If Professor Snape does die, I don't know if my emotions will change to happiness or being moody. I wish that I don't want to read the last book, but I have to. I can't stand myself from anything very important.
