Deathly Hallows afterthoughts

I lack sleep, am a heap of emotional wreck, and here are my thoughts.

The most important thing is that I loved the book, enjoyed it so much that I read it in one go even though I tried so hard to slow down and make the book last as long as possible. My eyes are red from weeping, not just from the various moments in the book but by the end of the

Yeah, Snape dying was a hard blow, but in terms of storyline it worked very well and I don't think it could have ended any other way. Don't get me wrong - I absolutely love Snape, but this doesn't get rid of the fact that he was nasty, petty, and downright unpleasant towards Harry, and given that Snape *was* ultimately the one who let slip the prophecy to LV and thus causing Lily and James' deaths, only by dying can him be redeemed. Therefore although I'm upset that Snape died, I think his death was neccessary and increases his value as a character.

I don't despise Tonks - I just don't care for her character very much, but I think she was a woman who was desperately in love with Remus and would have done anything to be with him. I love R/S and granted, I didn't like Remus marrying Tonks *at all*, but I do think it was time Remus got some happiness and companionship after all the suffering he went through.

I mean what the heck gives her the right to write this bloody line

...Urm, the right as the author of Harry Potter?...

I quite liked that line, actually - I think it was merely drawing a similarity between Harry and Sirius, highlighting the paralleles between godfather and godson.

But yes, I agree that JKR could have mentioned more about Sirius. It was a sad book - briliant but sad.
