No prob. ^_^

Also, what happens when one "dies" in the illusionary world? It seems to me that the Otherworld is not really so much an illusion, but rather a manifistation. However, I'd like to hear other people's viewpoints and arguments.
I say illusion because it isn't permanent, but as it comes from the evil power of Samael within Alessa (which I probably should've mentioned earlier; the half-complete attempt at bringing Samael into the human world was what gave Alessa her powers), it could also be called a manifestation in terms of its affect on reality. Dying in that world means dying in the real world, as evidenced by the worst ending. I believe that Harry notes the change because the otherworld appears more and more frequently the further you get into the game, no doubt because of Samael's increasing influence. Defeating him at the end puts a stop to the otherworld.
I did indeed get the good ending, and I remember Lisa dragging Kaufmann, which also brings up the questions, to where is she dragging him?
Down into hell, heh heh. That's what he deserved, anyways.
What happens to the otherworld, Lisa, Alessa, etc after Harry and Cybil escape?
Gone.
If so, what about in SH2 with James?
That one isn't too related to SH1 though I think the bonus ending with the dog (which I haven't seen) mentions Samael or something.
Similarily, what about SH3?
Dunno. I never got to far into it. I'd like to buy it at some point and finish it.

It's definitely one of the most touchingly heroic endings ever.
