I was very disappointed that Tonks' charachter (and her special 
skills) was not developed and put in use for something more exciting 
than falling in love (which also annoyed me a lot since Im an 
uncurable Remus/Sirius shipper).

Rowling could have done anything with Tonks - and blew it.

Severus as the HBP was all good and fine - but what was that all 
about anyways? Why dedicate the 6th book to Snape if by the end of it 
we practically don't know anything more about him than we did at the 
end of any previous book?
The fact that Snape is the HBP didn't do anything to his character - 
or to the book. Did it? Am I missing something here?

And finally Draco's character seems to have grown a lot. Which is 
good. I had almost given up hope after OOTP that Draco would be given 
the chance to come back in the books as something other than the 
Slytherin badboy who makes Harry's life a little more difficult at 
times.

I was disappointed that Sirius seems to have completely vanished from 
the books as well as from Harry's thoughts. Maybe in book 7.... but 
if Harry's grief was so easy to overcome as it seemed it has - I find 
it rather difficult to see how Sirius can come back into Harry's 
life - in whatever state (ghost, mirror....) and still be important 
to Harry. Sirius was forgotten a bit too soon.
