I also put 15, presuming start of anime season.
Anyway, the latest novels have introduced the possibility of Kyon, not Haruhi, being the one with superpowers. If you remember from the very first chapter of the first novel, Kyon said something about being the "sidekick", without any special powers, right? Just following along on the adventures of somebody who did.
And from the novels you would also know about Kyon's other "girlfriend", who has her own brigade thing claiming that she was the original God. What's the connection? Kyon hung out with her first, but then started hanging out with Haruhi. And when was the first time Kyon met Haruhi (chronologically)? 3 years ago, with the huge incident thing.
So the theory goes, Kyon actually has the ability to make a person "God". They have to have certain qualities in their personalities to qualify, and they are also the one who actually wields the power, but Kyon is the originator of it.
I don't really like this theory though because Haruhi already gets a small enough role in the novels as it is. It'd be kinda retarded if the story turns out to be entirely about Kyon.
Wow that's crazy. I must get my hands on these novels.
