Well, I've finished re-reading the book, and I still liked it a lot. I think I'll have to start from the beginning, and work my way through all of the books (that should kill a couple weeks until the next book comes out
)
But on re-reading it, I noticed something interesting. We saw James and Sirius torturing Snape for being different (I still have problems with that). In this book, Harry and co. meet up with someone just as strange and different-Luna Lovegood. They make fun of her behind her back in the beginning, but at the end she's the only person not from Gryffindor who goes to rescue Sirius. And when Harry finds her posting the notice about her missing things, he feels pity and sadness for her. Also, Dumbledore's Army consists of kids from all of the Houses except for Slytherin (although I believe Harry and Draco will have to work together in the future to fight Voldemort). It seems like the kids are working past some of the bigotry their parents had-maybe this will help defeat Voldemort?
