This is a really beautiful post Sandy. It gave me a warm feeling and 
a feeling of hope that the characters we learned to love(or at least 
the Trio, The Weasleys and DD) will survive the war. Somebody 
mentioned something about Christmas and Harry giving DD a pair of 
woolen socks. Isn't that a very nice ending to the series which is 
getting darker and darker every book. Knowing JKR's fondness for 
twist, them surviving and sharing a nice Christmas together like one 
big happy family(with H/G and R/H ending up with each other), is one 
unexpected twist since most of us here are anticipating a very sad 
and violent next 2 books. 

Again a very nice post and I enjoyed reading it very much. Thanks for 
sharing this Sandy.
