Let's not forget that maybe Albus and Severus are normal wizarding names!
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

The only classmates of Harry's that we know some of what happened to them is Draco (married w/kid), Ron (married w/kids and driving license), Hermione (married w/kids), Neville (unnamed marital status, professor of Herbology), and Harry and Ginny. We can guess that Bill and Fleur had a daughter pretty quickly after the war ended (if she's old enough to snog Teddy Lupin but still be going to Hogwarts, she's most likely in her sixth or seventh year in the epilogue), but that's it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Never clued in that Victoire was Bill and Fleur's kid.
D'uh, Aimee.

Well, James was saying that she's their cousin, so it makes sense.

Also, her name implies that she was born pretty soon after the war.

I wonder who Draco married. I don't remember, what happened to Pansy, do we know?

Last we saw Pansy she was being typical Pansy in trying to get McGonagll to give up Harry.
And in looking at the imdb entry for her, it's kind of funny that the actresses last name is "Gaunt".

::snerk:: A "dramatization" of the final chapter, script-style.
VOLDERMORT: Yeah, because if there's one thing driving this scene it's the Mamet like realism of the colloquy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Bwahaha!
V: Are we going to rehash the entire plot here?
H: Look, I just got back from The Afterlife Of Lengthy Obtuse Exposition, cut me some slack.
V: I'm getting nauseous from all this circling.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
MRS. W: Not my daughter, you bitch!
RON: Yippie kay yay, motherfucker!
HERMIONE: Were gonna need a bigger boat.
MRS. W: What the-?
RON: Sorry, we thought quoting other movies was some sort of magic. Just lazy writing? Carry on.
Heh.
VOLDERMORT: You mean he was weak! To weak to dare, too weak to take what might have been his, what will be mine! To weak to be stronger than weakness which takes nothing which is mine in weak strength!
Heeee. That was all very amusing.
