Stephanie here:

I love that idea!! I've only been thinking about places hardly 
mentioned, but it's true that Hermione has been studying a lot that 
she's hasn't been able to use yet.  Maybe it's not Hermione who 
risks her life, but Ginny.
Tanya:  My thought of everything becoming what is should have 
been...my thought was with Vold.'s death is also the death of all 
his evil...as if everything was a dream.  Imagine Harry defeating 
Voldemort...then walking outside the room only to find his mother 
and father reading the Daily Prophet at the table, waiting for 
Sirius to show up for dinner.  A great twist ending.
Sounds right in my head, but might not in this post.
