I know...what WAS Tonks thinking running off and leaving her newborn?! 
I know, I know, she was a bad ass Auror. But still, I hate that poor 
little Teddy was an orphan who never knew his parents. Still not happy 
that JKR killed both of them off, and in such an off-handed way (Oh 
yeah, and Tonks & Lupin were lying there dead too) :-(

 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..

I was very flustrated (yes, I made that word, I'm a wordsmith, see?) by the
way she killed off characters by simply stating they were dead. As a writer
I find it lazy and stupid, as a teacher I hand it back and say "make it make
sense to the reader." When Sirius got killed it was "Harry is reckless,
Sirius is reckless, this was bound to happen and it changes the way Harry
perceives his own actions." When DD got killed, it seemed inevitable and is
latter explained very cleverly so that it really makes sense to the reader.
Plus, Harry had to do it on his own and DD's death was a plot solution that
was well thought out and fit logically with the story and characters. Now,
move on to the final battle, the only deaths that make sense are Bellatrix,
Grabbe and Voldy!!!  Snapes death is something I CANNOT VISUALIZE making any
sense (a floating snake in a bubble suddenly floats towards him, and bites
him and he knows several seconds in advance it is coming and does nothing???
Tonks and Lupin just die at random, two of the most skilled with a new born
baby and young marriage to fight for just die? WTF?

 

I've been defending DH, but you just reminded me how much some of it really
didn't work. I think as a cap to 6 great books, it seemed very poorly
thought out in the end.
