Poor Snape -- all that time as an undercover good guy, and he dies unredeemed at the hand of Voldemort's pet snake???

FWIW, Harry does clear Snape in front of all assembled in his showdown with Voldie. Also, Harry says to his son that he was named after two headmasters, which means that Snape's portrait will join the other Headmaster portraits.

I just assumed that Epilogue!Ron's "I'm extremely famous" was a joke playing off either Hermione's fame for some sort of great witchery or Harry.

Which brought up an interesting point, for me: Harry's kids don't know how famous their dad is, or why?

That's gonna make things awkward at Hogwart's.

"Dude. You're Albus Potter!"

"Er, yeah. Why are you goggling at me?"

"You're Harry Potter's kid!"

"Yeah. So?"

"Dude, your dad saved the world?"

"He--What?! No, he didn't! He's a dork, look at him. He's got stupid glasses and his hair always looks like crap...he collects owls for God's sake, there's always shit all over his study...My dad couldn't save the toilet from overflowing, let alone the world! He's...he's a dork!"

Bad picture, but me as Nymphadora Tonks: [link]

Nice!

Who's a fucking hottie? Aimee!

t hair turns bright red

Thanks! Hee hee.

I'll tell you what though. 3 hours of wearing that fake nose ring and now I remember why I took my real one out.

scratches nose at the memory

Harry says to his son that he was named after two headmasters, which means that Snape's portrait will join the other Headmaster portraits.

Or at least that Harry considers him a Headmaster.

I dunno, I thought everybody laughed when Ron said he was famous because they knew Harry was famous. How could you grow up Weasley and not? I just don't think the kids had expanded "famous" to "everybody on the Express staring at you." As kids won't.

I also thought she was setting up Dean and Luna.

I was really appalled most of the book, thinking that Snape really was bad...but Silvery Goo of Exposition made him into one of my favorite characters ever.

Voldemort's soulshard as an abandoned baby left under a seat in King's Cross was gutwrenching. That was just a nightmarish image, all the worse for knowing it was the best-case scenario.

I am glad that Neville took out the penultimate Horcrux, making the prophecy pertain to him as well as Harry.

Now I just wish I could look forward to my son going to Hogwarts.

I am as one with Raq. I also loved finding out that Perunia tried to get into Hogwarts and was not accepted. Explains a lot.

Now I just wish I could look forward to my son going to Hogwarts.

You want him in Ravenclaw. Admit it.
