Personally, I find the idea of Haruhi's true nature being so very unknown aesthetically pleasing in a way that I can't come up with a way to adequately describe.
Though, if we go with Rob's idea, I kind of like the idea of none of them having their original memories, and Yuki at some point realizing something was up and putting the pieces together to figure out what really happened. (I don't think going mad would be a problem for Mikuru, who from the novels has pretty limited authority on her own. And Yuki I think could handle it. Of course, as a Nagato-lover, my opinions might be suspect. ^_- )
Mind you, I don't feel I could *write* that story. '.'
There's another decision that it seems like has to be made here... If Haruhi's true nature, whatever it may be, is to come out, when does it happen?
It'd probably mess up a lot of stuff to have it be before the "With great justice" thread. Which leaves having it occur around that time frame (possibly leading from AAA's suggestions, possibly not), or doing a limited retcon like I suggested before, and having the reveal take place at a later time.
And... there was something else, but I can't think of it now. '.'
