It's hard for me to choose. Severus - because as a potions master I do not think he should have died from poison.
Sirius - because I'd like Harry to have his godfather.
Fred - because George isn't a twin by himself.
I love Lupin too, but then I'd have to bring back Tonks. Also Harry's parents, bet Harry would like to know his family. Dobby. Hedwig. Guh. Where do I stop?
Sirius Black, Fred Weasley, and Professor Albus Brian Wilfric Percival Dumbledore
Ok i'm not sure i can pick JUST three....I see some all you have put Harry's parents but think if Harrys parents hadn't died he wouldn't be the boy who lived, probably wouldn't be friends with Ron and Hermione, Voldemort (fear in a name increases the fear in the thing itself-Dumbledore) would still be in power. The whole series wouldn't have come if not for that one part. I think..wow umm, that i would have had Fred, Sirius,and Dumbledore. Snape is high upon that list as well. If Sirius wouldn't have died Harry wouldn't have to lay eyes upon the Durlseys again i wonder how that would impact the story.
I think that if I had to pick just ONE person to save I would save Sirius.
I would save Fred. His death was devastatingly painful. Makes me all teary-eyed even now if i think too much about it.

Too True!
Hedwig above all others. I'd be willing to exchange Percy's life for hers.Then Fred and Tonks. Lupin's death was set-up and was unsurprising for his character arc. Tonks death read as symmetry so Teddy would be like Harry. Okay scratch Tonks off my spared list and we'll save Colin Creevey instead.
Myself! I would try to save my former belief in people's general level of intelligence, which died when Harry Potter took the world by storm.

Hear, hear...
Hear, hear...
If I could only choose one, Sirius. Then Hedwig(I have a obsession with owls), and Fred. And maybe Remus. Or Peter Pettigrew, I was kinda hoping he would be crucioed to death. Forget that, I still want Pettigrew dead, I just wanted him to die in a more painful and horrific and terrific way. I would say James+Lily, but I don't think we would have a series without their deaths.
No one except for maybe Hedwig. I did not feel any of the deaths in the series were cruel or unnecessary.
Sirius, Hedwig and Snape
Sirius, Dumbledore and Fred!!
Sirius, Remus and Fred.
Snape, Harry's parents, Dobby, Sirius, Lupin, Tonks, maybe Dumbledore, Hedwig, maybe Cedric, and most of all Fred
Sirius, Fred, and Dobby
Tonks, Sirius, Fred
sirius black and dobby :(
Hedwig or dobby. I love them both more than anything else on the planet.
So I am in the minority, I wouldn't save any of them unless you allow swapping Ron and Fred. Ron should of died. And books with war should have death, being likable does not make one invincible or fighting on the side of right does not protect you from death. The characters can't be willing to die for something they believe in if none of them are in actual danger of death.
No no no Ron just no
I must say, so far the characters I wanted to live the most were;Lupin/Nymphadora- Lupin is my fav. character, love him so much, and Dora was funny and married to Lupin, so she counts! :3
Sirious- I mean, who wants Sirious to die?
Dobby- NO DUH! DOBBY IS AWESOME :'(
and last but not least....
FRED- Dang.... them feels guys.... them feels....
Definitely Remus, Tonks and Fred.
Everyone keeps saying Fred, and while I LOVED the Fred/George duo while reading, it a) shows that everyone doesn't get a happy ending b) makes George the only one. I think Rowling planned it that way, because Fred and George were inseparable, never one without the other, almost the same person... plus she loves being cruel to her characters.
Snape is one of my favorite characters but bringing him back would just be cruel... he was never happy and he'd get to see Harry (who was the kid of the woman he loved and the man he hated) grow up and be happy... plus we would never know that he was really on the good guys' side all along!
Voldemort... who'd bring him back, even if he was a well-developed character? He was like the Hitler of the Wizarding World. No, it's best the defeated bad guy is just that: defeated and dead. It also serves the purpose about Voldemort's being afraid of dying and finally getting what he deserved.
Dumbledore was Harry's mentor and loved him in a way, but his death was crucial, as was Sirius's. The story wouldn't be the same without them. It shows how even the person who most deserved family in the entire world (Harry) didn't always get it. Sometimes the bad guy gets the better of you. This isn't a Disney movie.
Lupin and Tonks created the next orphan... Teddy Lupin. Harry played Sirius's role as the godfather as he grew up... because in wartime not all people are left unscathed. Sometimes you lose relatives.
So those are the main ones... obviously you can't bring back Lily or James because that would ruin everything; Harry wouldn't be "the Boy Who Lived"... all in all, I think the ones who died unnecessarily were Hedwig, Moody, and Colin. (Cedric too?)
If saving them had no difference on the story, I'd bring back Fred, Lupin, Sirius, Dumbledore, Dobby, Lily, James, Tonks... I mean, don't you wish you could just save them all?
(Sorry about my brutal outlook on things... I have a negative mind :) )
Dobby, Dumbledore, Sirius
I would save Sirius Black, Dumbledore and Harry's Parents
Dobby!!! He reminds me of The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. All the more heartbreaking.
This is really hard to choose....Sirius,
Remus (and) Tonks,
and Hedwig
It's hard though, a lot of people didn't deserve to die.

This!
I loved Dumbledore, and Snape should have been vindicated, but these four, Fred, Sirius, Remus & Tonks are the deaths that "hurt" me the most.
As a side note, I can not remember Hedwig's death.
Only one? *sigh* Remus Lupin, hands down.
Not Harry's parents because then EVERYTHING would be different and none of the characters would have been the same. Harry would not have the same relationship with Sirius, or with the Weasleys, he wouldn't have defeated Voldermort and maybe not even been friends with Ron. :0 And, lets face it Harry would have been a total big-head because his father was, his parents death has always humbled him and he already sort of was even with his parents dead I mean; "...but no hint of a search being made, or even (he despised himself slightly for hoping it) panicked voices wondering where Harry Potter had gone." (from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) c'mon, you tell me that's not big-headed. Yeah so, not Harry's parents.Sirius's death was really sad and I wish it hadn't happened but I don't have enough affection for him to put him in my top 3. Same with Mad-eye.
Not Dumbledore because he was really old and he was ready to die. Plus it helped bring down Voldermort. I don't regret Snape's death either because I think it was the right time for him to be finally put to rest from the hurt of the whole Lily affair.
So it's gotta be Remus, Tonks and Fred. Because I LOVE these 3 and Teddy and Andromeda needed Remus and Tonks and they would have been great parents. Fred just because I can't imagine George without Fred. *sniff*
Fred, Tonks & Remus.
SNAPE SNAPE SNAPE Fred
sirius
Snape was one of my favorite characters cried when he died and Fred too, Sirius i just felt bad for
DEFINITELY Dumbledore.
Can i save everybody? but to really really choose one, would be fred. initially wanted to say lupin or tonks but it'll be cruel to have one mourning the loss of the others. but its cruel to be only able to save one T_T
Sirus, Dumbledore, Dobby
Sirius, Remus and Tonks.And FRED and Dumbledore and Cedric and Dobby and aand *sobbing*
Sirius, Remus/Tonks [Just one of them, I don't care which so the kid has a parent], and Hedwig. Sirius mainly. Because Harry needed ONE father figure. I mean, James, Sirius, Dumbledore AND Remus die and harry has no one. It's tragic. And plus Sirius had a sad life. All those years in Azkaban- and then he finally has hope and then... Sigh.

Agree with you, the part 'plus Sirius had a sad life. All those years in Azkaban- and then he finally has hope and then... Sigh.' indeed a good argument.
~~adding with Sirius character would make him the saviour of them all who died.
THAT IS SO UNFAIR MAN!! I literally adore Dumbledore and Sirius but thinking of Snape is so hard because even though he didn't like Harry he should live. But there is one person who really deserved to live which I'm surprised no one mentioned: voldemort! (kidding guys LOL!)
Sirius and Snape, in a heartbeat!
