Unresolved plot elements from previous bo

Unresolved plot elements from previous books

Guys I took this from courtesy Wikipedia. When I was reading it I immediately wanted to share and see what others have to say to this. Hope quoting from other sites is allowed in IF.

• Harry will return to the home of his non-magical (Muggle) relatives, the Dursleys (whose cooperation has been requested by Dumbledore), during the school holiday. The magical protection Dumbledore arranged, which requires Harry to have a home with them, is set to expire when Harry comes of age.

• Harry comes of age (for wizards) when he turns 17 on July 31, and is then allowed to perform magic outside of school and to obtain a license to Apparate. His friends Ron and Hermione, and many of his classmates, already turned 17 during the sixth year, and Neville Longbottom turns 17 on July 30 - the day before Harry.

• Harry plans to visit the remains of his parents' home in Godric's Hollow. Ron and Hermione plan on accompanying him on this trip.
• Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour plan on getting married in August. Several of the main characters have been invited.

• It is unclear what will happen to Hogwarts after the attack on the school at the end of Half-Blood Prince, but Harry has said he will leave school to continue his battle against Voldemort. If the school reopens, replacements will be required for Severus Snape (Defense against the Dark Arts) instructor and head of Slytherin house) and possibly Minerva McGonagall (Transfiguration instructor, head of Gryffindor house and Deputy Headmistress) in the event that she becomes Headmistress.

• Harry must destroy all of Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes before Voldemort can be defeated. Dumbledore believed there were six, and that two so far have been confirmed to be destroyed.

• There is no explanation at the end of Half-Blood Prince as to the true identity of the mysterious "R.A.B", who claimed to have stolen one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, a locket, with the intent to destroy it, while replacing it with a fake locket, later recovered by Harry and Dumbledore.The most likely candidate is Regulus Black, who Rowling said was "a fine guess" for R.A.B.'s identity in an interview. This theory is supported by the fact that translations of R.A.B. consistently correspond to the Black name. Also, when cleaning out the cupboards in 12 Grimmuauld Place, Harry and the others find a heavy locket that they are unable to open.

• Because Harry convinced Remus Lupin and Sirius Black to spare Peter Pettigrew's's life in book 3, Pettigrew owes Harry a life debt. There was no indication in books 3-6 that this debt had been repaid.

• Snape's loyalties remain in doubt. Although he kills Dumbledore in the Half-Blood Prince, it is not known whether this furthered a plan of Voldemort's or Dumbledore's. Snape owes a life debt to Harry's father, James, and has saved Harry's life twice. The question of whether Snape is good or evil has also been presented as a major marketing element for the book, with competing posters proclaiming him as either a hero or a villain.

Awww.. Im really sad that we wont see harry in Hogwarts.. Hogwarts was fun!! 😭 However it looks like JK Rowling is indicating towards Regulas Black as R.A.B and that locket clue that its given here looks intresting!!

Thanks for sharing! 😳
