Ginger here:
I snipped previous responses, although I enjoyed them thouroughly.  I 
agreed with many and disagreed with some.  I laughed, I cried, it 
moved me, Bob.

So here's mine, most of which would most likely be in the epilogue. 

Good:
Harry defeats LV and becomes seeker for the Cannons. 
Ginny Potter as MoM.
Ron and Hermione Weasley as aurors.
Bill and Remus living happily ever after together.
Snape accidently curing lycanthropy and having to be the object of 
Remus' undying gratitude.
The house-elves setting Hermione down and giving her a good talking 
to about minding her own business.
Healer Neville Longbottom curing his parents.

Bad:
Dead!Molly or Arthur before the end of the series.
Redeemed!Draco, although Inept!Draco accidently aiding the Order 
would be funny.
LV turning into just plain misunderstood little Tommy. Bleh! He 
*chose* to go bad.
ESE!Lupin (sorry Pippin, but see above.)
Dead!Dumbledore.  I just think he deserves to see things turn out 
well.
Things not turning out well.

Ugly:
Bill and Fleur.  Oh, the family reunions.  Indigestion would reign.
Draco shipped with anyone other than Pansy.
Harry/Pansy.
Snape and Lockhart in a Mindmeld or Freaky Friday situation.
Crabbe and Goyle marrying giantesses or trolls.
Assuming H/G and R/H, their children coming home engaged to the 
offspring of the Crabbe and Goyle unions mentioned above.
LV winning.

Weird: 
Harry writing his memoirs, and sending them back in time via 
clockwork owl to a certain J K Rowling to publish.
JKR is actually a listee with just a *little too much insight* into 
this world. (MDDT?)

Ginger, looking suspiciously around the list.
