While it's nice that Harry and Ginny named their children after
Harry's parents and Dumbledore with a nod to Snape...what about
FRED???  Her slain brother and his good friend?  Not even a middle
 initial of F...

<Siriusly Snapey Susan>
And what about *Sirius*??  No James Sirius to go along with Albus
Severus??
Perhaps Harry & Ginny are awaiting son #3, who will be Sirius Remus
Potter.

D:  James's middle name  wasn't poignant enough for JKR to bring up  given how the epilogue was written. So I'd say it's non-matter. I'd say it's hard to see Ginny popping out another kid 11 years later.

I was put off by that too. Well, okay, first I was put off (and out,
and over the top, and lots of other omgtoomuchplzstopnow type
emotions) by the Great Roll Call of the Dead that Ginny and Harry seem

D:
Funny how the supposedly "equal" Ginny has NO say in naming the kids after HER family. Maybe  it's "James Arthur Potter" and "Lily Molly Potter" (this sounds cute). But none beats "Albus Severus," I love the meaning behind it and how it's JKR's  ultimate nod to her two most favorite characters (come on it's so obvious where her love really lies ;D). 

Did anyone read the news that JKR will be writing an Encyclopedia?  Maybe many "where are they now? what job do they do?" answers will be there. Maybe she deliberately didn't mention any of these in the epilogue so you'd have to buy the encyclopedia to find out! XD

Seriously, JKR seems to have a 'never trust establishment' thing going on and how useless ministry/aurors were in the story, it's a little weird that many people guess Harry would be an auror.  For me, I'd like to know what Luna's been up to the most.
