Now me:

Hi, Stephanie - I have also noticed that major events happen on 
Halloween, and have also wondered about its significance.  I read in 
an article about JKR (I think it had to do with her throwing a party 
on Halloween) that she said "Not surprisingly, my favorite holiday is 
Halloween."  So it could be that it's a favorite day for her, or it 
could have a deeper meaning (my guess is the latter!).

btw, Nearly Headless Nick's deathday is also Halloween!
