After finishing Deathly Hallows, one burning question remains unanswered:
WHAT IS THE DEAL with Aberforth and goats???

And, more importantly, do I really want to know??

:scared: :scared: :scared:

1. Everyone needs a hobby...
and goats are very clever and endearing critters...or so I've been told by those who raise them.

My :wtf: question is: Where did Neville get the sword he used to chop off Nagini's head?
IIRC, Griphook the Goblin snagged the real one, and the fake one was still in the vault at Gringotts.

3. The sword will always come to a true Griffindor in need.

2. And my unanswered question...
Near the end of the book, in the scene in the Headmaster's Office, why isn't there a new portrait of Snape hanging there? It would have been interesting to hear his comments as well...

5. yes, that would have been interesting
perhaps the old portrait doesn't appear until a successor is named, or some such thing. Snape was, after all, killed only that morning. But it certainly would have been interesting to hear what he had to say. (And what Harry had to say to him.)

4. According to Wikipedia...
He was arrested for trying to perform illegal charms on a goat.

I don't think I want to know either... :scared:

6. Nobody else dares speculate about the goats?
Not that I blame you...
