SSSusan:









In my case, I got so much that I'd hoped for!  To wit: 

* Harry alive; in fact, I got that Harry's BELIEF that he had to 

sacrifice himself and his WILLINGNESS to do so out of love would 

somehow be 'enough' and that he'd not actually have to do so in the 

end [this was probably my biggest thing].



* OBHWF in the pairings of Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermy.



* DDM!Snape, including that DD was weakening & dying throughout the 

year, that Snape & DD had talked in advance about Snape having to 

kill him, and the 'command' on the tower.  



* I even, though I didn't THINK I could like it terribly (but 

actually did), got LOLLIPOPS (or TEWWW EWWWW).



What I didn't get were: 

* confirmation of what happened during the missing 24 hours (bother).



* both twins alive



* an ending which was 'elegantly simple,' a phrase I'd used many 

times over the years.  I mean, with the elder wand complexity and 

that bundle under the chair at King's Cross and all of that, it was 

certainly NOT simple... though I suppose 'elegant' is still in the 

mix as an arguable point.



Anyone else care to bite?
?



Sandy:




I'll bite. I got the three things I wanted the most. Harry ALIVE, Voldy DEAD and OBHWF, meaning Harry and Ginny and Ron and Hermione. What I didn't get was Harry NOT being a Horcrux, although it wound up working out okay, and the Weasley twins together. It was my hope that they would both survive, but if she felt like she had to kill one I wish she had killed both. Even after reading the book twice I still can't reconcile myself to George without Fred:-(
