( continues...) said, “Shit, I can’t have him lugging the owl everywhere. She’ll have to go.”
Oh, yeah, and I was soooo very right about the scar being a horcrux.
During Book Club catching up (aka my meara)
Someone really needs badly to write the continuing adventures of the DA (aka the Neville, Luna, and Ginny story)
And I really want to know what happened to Umbridge. Someone needs to write that fic.
The trace on Voldemort’s name was a nice touch.
I should have known that Remus was a goner when we found out the kid’s middle name was Remus. He didn’t seem the type to name a kid after himself. I actually, initially, thought she’d mistyped for Sirius. I do suppose, though, that Harry’s Harry James. Perhaps it was a Marauder thing.
I loved the adriftness than came with Harry’s broken wand.
I love that the Who people got it right that Expelliarmus saves the day.
I agree with everyone who was troubled by the use of the unforgivable curses by our heroes.
Full points on Elves (although why Kreacher was not summoned at all after the leaving of Grimmauld Place, I do not know).
Because the Death Eaters had access to Grimmauld Place and could have possibly side-apparated with him. I don't think Harry wanted to risk calling him.
Additionally, wouldn’t Teddy have grown up as part of the family? After his own experiences, surely Harry would have wanted to take the boy in.
I assume that he was raised by Tonks' parents, but obviously very close to Harry, as Teddy was over for dinner four times a week.
Well, only Tonks' mom as her dad was killed.

By her mother, since her father was killed in DH.
And Harry was 17 at the end of the story, not a good age to raise a baby.

Yes, but they should have called him IMMEDIATELY. Dude, there is a witness in the house and the bad guys just got in. Twenty minutes later they're all "well, we can't call Kreacher"
Of course, they wouldn't have suffered like they did while running from pillar to post had they a butler with them so it was good for the narriative.

On the other hand, an injured Ron kind of drew their attention.

I'd assume that they either didn't talk about their plans in front of Kreacher or they ordered him to not talk to anyone else about them.
I kind of like that they didn't always do the sensible thing. They're on the run, they don't have a fucking clue as to what they're doing or how they're going to do it...they're kids, they can't think of everything.
The only thing that annoyed me about the things they didn't do that I might have done is that it didn't seem to bite them in the ass as hard as I expected.
