Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
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.

You want him in Ravenclaw. Admit it.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Hell, I wanna be in Ravenclaw. I'd be an awesome Research Mage.
