Ceridwen:
Yes.  My point.  I think, when it's all over, and they look back on 
the battlefield, such as it may be, and review everything that has 
happened over the course of seven years, Snape's snarking, Hagrid's 
rough first year teaching, Trelawney's boozing, everything, will be 
small.  I don't think any of the kids will care, if they live through 
book 7.  Because they will have faced True Evil.  And after that, who 
would want to sweat the small stuff?

I think that if JKR shows any sort of Karmic retribution for things 
like bad teaching or new teacher mistakes, it'll be taken care of in 
one or two lines, without being explicit that this is what it is.  
There's a lot to accomplish in book 7.  We've been promised several 
things which have yet to be answered, the four remaining horcruxes 
must be found and destroyed, LV and his followers must be somehow 
eliminated from affecting the WW, so I just can't see there being 
time or space enough for the rest, which so far hasn't turned a 
single hair on any (fictional) bodys' heads.

It was fun to offer a scenario instead of just spelling it out, 
though.

Ceridwen.
