The meaning of all the deaths in HP:

James and Lily: To establish the story line as well as to show orphans of war.
Cedric Diggory: To show Voldemort's mercilessness.
Sirius Black: To show Harry's lack of guidance/parental figures.
Albus Dumbledore: To show the death of a great leader can't stop a war.
Hedwig: To show the end of Harry's childhood.
Mad Eye: To show the death of a soldier.
Dobby: To show even the smallest of creatures can die a Hero's death.
Fred Weasley: To show that some deaths you just can't get over. And that's okay.
Tonks and Remus Lupin: To reestablish orphans of war.
Colin Creevey: To show that the good die young, even when they aren't supposed to.
Severus Snape: To show that you can always change your ways. Always.

Kickass Kid of the Day: Tom Schaar — a skateboarding prodigy at the tender age of 12 — recently landed the world’s first 1080-degree spin, which subsequently landed him in the Guinness Book of World Records. Now he’s made history a second time, becoming the youngest X Games gold medalist ever with top honors in the Mini MegaRamp event.

“I tried the 1080 once before the contest and then three or four times during the contest and was stoked to get it,” Schaar said. “I’m just excited to be here and be skating with all of these pros that I’ve looked up to. It’s the best feeling!”
