What I got from the ending- the strongest feeling I
got was the chaos of battle.

Next was the fact that D.A. was totally unprepared. 
They had never been in true battle before and had no
true idea of what to expect.  It showed how far they
had come, yes, but also how far they had left to go.

And seeing all teh aurorors fighting the death eaters
gave me this chilled feeling, this idea of how many
times they'd done this before.  And how many times
this new generation will have to do the same, if
Voldemort isn't stopped.
