Actually, one of the great things JKR has achieved with this novel has been, for the first time, to really make Voldemort a credible and frightful villain. Thus far, he had been purely a mask, but his treatment here - especially the dreadful concept that his attempt at immortality depends directly on the murder of others and the mutilation of his own soul - suddenly creates a concept that is wholly odious and worth fighting. Well done, JKR.
(Incidentally, does anyone else beside myself find JKR attractive?)

I was so happy about Tonks/Remus, too. This book... oh, so good.
