Snape. The most enigmatic character in the whole wizarding world. For my money, also one of the most powerful and understated people around.. the first time that he set eyes upon Harry, the latter's scar began hurting. What does this mean? Snape cannot be just a bad guy.. he is simply too complex for that. Snape has his own very complicated morality, and he has simultaneously shared the confidence of the two most powerful wizards of the age, both of them deadly foes. To balance such a fine line takes nerve and imagination. Snape has both in spades. I push for him being involved in what has to be a final confrontation between the Dark Lord and Harry and being the deciding factor in what will perhaps become a Mexican showdown.
I had for a few moments entertained thoughts of Fawkes being a Horcrux for Dumbledore, just as Nagini is speculated to be one for the Dark Lord.. this would be nicely symmetrical..but then Dumbledore was simply too good to kill wantonly to create a Horcrux. Even during the battle in the Ministry atrium, he never used a killing curse on Voldemort. Then I remembered that JKR has squished this idea already. But perhaps, the rising from the ashes symbolism will carry itself out elsewhere. Fawkes is important, this is something I am convinced of.
