I've started a full read through as well. I've been struck by just how many things you all managed to lay out from *day one*. Draco/Harry/Ron, all the Weasley dynamics, Lucius's relationship with the boys, Sirius/Remus and so much more. Nothing quite compares to just how much foreshadowing JKR managed to jam into a relatively innocuous first chapter (Dumbledore's broken nose, Sirius's bike, the themes for basically the entire series and on from there.) But still a great deal was firing on all cylinders from day one.
I've been reading Harry Potter to my daughter for a bit now (we'll finish Talons and Tea Leaves in PoA tonight) and it's wonderful to find the bits I'd forgotten about and the bits that point to the future. I'm anticipating similar when reading all of Alternity again.
