I don't have answers to all your questions, but I do have them for

Ginger again: According to JKR's most recent chat, Harry's

Ginger: Perhaps he read the chat transcript :)

Ginger: Nope, he lives a quiet life in Devon with his wife Pernelle.
(SS paperback, US edition, p. 220) Hagrid did say that Hogwarts was
safer than Gringotts. (p. 63)
I love questions. I love answers. I can't wait until they meet.
