This is the question that I've asked on every 'Who is HBP?' (and there are MANY !!!) threads, "Is the HBP friend or foe?" No-one's bothered to answer yet because most are occupied with trying to find out who the HBP is. Jo has given Harry more than Voldemort as a nemesis in every bookk 'til now. So... will the HBP be ANOHER enemy of Harry's (is this what Petigrew's been doing forthe last year - finding the HBP to go up against Harry?) OR will te HBP be on Harry's side for once!????? Something tells me, given Harry's track record, that the HBP will be an enemy. What do you think??
