Dobby's death made me feel really sad, which is weird because up until then he just annoyed me. Maybe it's because one of my colleagues looks kinda like him.

I missed the Tonks/Lupin deaths...

I think... if I'm right that Harry is 17 in book 7, which means that Ginny is either 16 or almost 16. 19 years later would make her ~35. Lily has to wait 2 years before joining Hogwarts which would make her ~9 (so Ginny had her when she was ~26), Albus is 11 (so Ginny had her when she was ~24), James must have been born some point between her being 18 and 23 - I'm edging towards 22 personally.

However what I don't get is why Teddy is still going to Hogwarts - he must be 19 at that point, at which point he should have already left. :o)

I think Teddy has left Hogwarts, but he's dating Victoire, who is still a student, and has come to see her off. Hence the 'Teddy's snogging our cousin on the station' thing.

It's possible that Teddy was held back several grades, because anyone with werewolf genes isn't terribly bright.

oh and iirc Snape swore to kill DD if Draco couldn't before he promised DD that he'd kill him.

:o)

Not so clear cut. I think Snape just chose the memories that showed him in a good light to pass on.

Snape and Fred made me sad.

Loved it to..

he was put into Slytherin House at the age of 11, and from then on in, he was forced into being the person that had to die. And that's really really sad. Poor Severus

I agree with you here, and she actually mentions the same thought throub Dumbledoor at one point. Where he muses weather they sort the children into houses to early.
