I am just so pleased to have read your comments; I can honestly say that I fully agree with nearly every single one of them, and the ones on which I am not in full agreement only make me more convinced that there are enough reasonable interpretations of minor points in this book to stand in favor of my contention that it is EASILY the best book so far, and that it may very well be the best of the seven. JKR will have to go some serious mileage to beat this one, as far as I'm concerned...Not that I'm not extremely willing to give her the opportunity, mind...
I think your observations are dead on, and those, combined with cygnusfap's exceedingly well done but slightly more philosophical point of view, might very well say all that needs to be said on the subject of OotP.
One teeny, tiny, brand-spanking new canon nitpick...Luna Lovegood (who I absolutely ADORE) is a Ravenclaw).
Between you and Cygnus, I think you've pretty much nailed it.
