. . . . . . kind of like calling, "Shotgun!"
I agree with everything you just said.babble said:I find Snape one of most intriguing character in the Harry Pottery. I think he's working for the good side, but acts like a jerk because he has had such a damaging childhood. I'm very interested in finding out more of his background, especially in regards to Harry's mom, and what is behind his apparant hatred towards Harry. Can't wait for the next book!

FitzChivalry said:Here's a question:
In the U.S. "hallows" means to make something Holy or to treat something with sincere reverence.
However, "hollows" means a gap or a cavity, or space within. It also means a small valley between two mountains.
Does "hallows" in England mean that same thing that "hollows" means in America? Because "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", following the American meaning of hallows, makes no sense to me.

From WIKI:
The meaning of "Hallows"
When asked "What does 'Deathly Hallows' mean?" J.K. Rowling responded, "Any clarification of the meaning of 'Hallows' would give away too much of the story - well, it would, wouldn't it? Being the title and all. So I'm afraid I'm not answering."[12]. She also declined to say what her two other shortlisted titles had been, at least until after publication. The release of the title has resulted in considerable speculation amongst fans as to its possible meanings.[13][14]
Hallow is a word usually used as a verb, meaning "to make holy or sacred, to sanctify or consecrate, to venerate".[15] However, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the word hallows appears as a noun. In modern English, the word is used as a noun in "All Hallows' Day" or "All Saints' Day," which is the day after Halloween or "All Hallows' Eve". Hallows can refer to saints, the relics of saints, the relics of gods, or shrines in which the relics are kept.[16][17] Since the essence of these saints or gods were often considered present at their shrines and in their relics, hallows came to refer to the saints or gods themselves, rather than just their relics or shrines. Hallow is not to be confused with hollow, such as in Godric's Hollow.
