Yeah, that's the thing. I tried not to have specific requests--I couldn't help myself from having some, but even those I mostly thought were coming from the story itself. A lot of things that did happen I guessed, or were certainly guessed in fandom--I figured Harry would have to be willing to die and then not die, the Horcrux idea was common, I guessed Snape/Lily etc. But thematically I was *so wrong* about certain things. Pretty much all of HBP turned out to have been nothing more than a set up for the wand switcheroo that proved how great Harry was.
