Earendil:
I'm the one who asked in another post why J/L would have been buried 
at Hogwarts. (maybe someone else asked though)

Anyway, I was about to reply to Melissa something along the lines 
of 'well, why not somewhere else?', giving GH as an example, or a 
possible Potter family shrine somewhere in England, or a birthplace, 
etc... and saying that what I was wondering was why they would 
*have* to be buried at Hogwarts specifically and not some other 
place.

And then I read your post. I think you have a point. With no living 
relatives, taking care of funeral arrangements would be a problem, 
and it would explain a burial at Hogwarts if DD had filled the role. 
However, you forgot Lupin among the close friends... He could have 
taken care of funeral arrangements, that was the least he could do 
for his friends...

BTW, do we know if Pettigrew's finger was buried after it was given 
to his mother? Or where it was buried? It would be quite logical for 
Peter to be buried next to the two friends he (supposedly) died 
for...
