I sort of hope that Luna is the Care of Magical Creatures professor, and that she's telling the students all about how to avoid nargles.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

It makes sense to me that he was the easier target for the Horcrux.
Then too, his sister Ginny already fell before a previous horcrux, so it could be something that runs through the Weasley family that makes them more likely to be targets than not.

All told, I did expect WORSE from the deaths.
I think in the end, the bodycount was 50, which seemed rather low, considering the Deatheaters were flinging about killing curses (or maybe I'm just assuming they were).

Closer to 60, as at least 50 nameless students died in the Battle of Hogwarts alone.

Yeah, so was I. It frightened me, since it's a fucking one-hit kill.
Whatever happened to Fawkes?
A circle has no beginning.

Thank goodness, Deatheaters are no better shots than Imperial Storm Troopers.
