So, a bookstore employee was explaining her theory to a customer... that JamesPotter is Snape. Somehow Snape was there when Harry was killed and Snape now "contains" James in some way or another. I thought it was a long stretch to explain why Dumbledore has always trusted him.
And I think Harry is, at this point, going to have to face things more or less on his own. Ron and Hermioned will certainly be prominent and help him. But the adults he has trusted have been removed from him. Neither Dumbledore nor Sirius can save him (though I don't think Sirius is quite gone forever... Harry does have that mirror). He and his friends will have to fight as the "next generation" of the Order as it were. In my mind, the big question is, will he have to face Voldemort alone? It's traditional in a hero-villian stand off. And it fits the character arc of Harry. However, if the key difference between V and Harry is that Harry's friends will fight for him because they care (even love) him, they may play the pivotal role in the "last battle" so to speak and they may be the difference between Harry living or dying.
On another random thought, I wonder what would have happened if, on that first meeting with Draco, Harry had accepted that handshake and chosen his friends more "wisely." Perhaps he would have ended up in Slytherin after all?
It's quite intriguing an idea.

Nah, Sirius is gone forever. The mirror didn't work.
Did anyone else have a minor freakout that Helena Bonham Carter is playing Bellatrix? SO. AWESOME.
This movie looks like it will stay pretty true to the book so I'm excited.
