All those scenes were in the screened movie.  There is no battle 
*inside* Hogwarts, just the DEs and Snape getting the heck out of 
there. Being chased by Harry, of course, and on the way passed 
Hagrid's hut torching it for the fun of it.

The "review" I read had Harry not leaving the castle, not chasing Snape. The
person said it ended on the tower and that they did not show Hagrid's hut
being burned down. I'm okay with there not being a big battle in Hogwarts
because Rowling writes that there was one, but only shows a tiny piece as
Harry runs after Snape. 

I do think not having the funeral was a bad idea. I think after having a
major character die at the end of a film (especially one with a "to be
continued" at the end) and not spending a few moments for the audience to
take it in is a bad idea. Plus, having the funeral in the book, and having
Harry decide not to return to Hogwarts at the funeral, helped set up the
reality that Hogwarts was over and the last story is going to be different.
Plus, if they have Voldy steal the elderwand in the last film we should see
Dumbledore's marble casket at the end of HBP so there's a connection with
the audience visually in the last film when Voldy goes there.
