>Neri:  Heck, Voldemort never even learns before he dies that Snape wasn't
his man after all. 

Actually, as Harry and Voldemort circle one another, Harry tells Voldemort
that Snape wasn't his.

There were several things I wasn't thrilled about in the last few chapters
of the book.  I wish JKR had told us what happened to people like George and
Luna and Percy (what was he doing at the train station shouting about broom
rules?).  I also wish there had been more interaction between Snape and
Harry, and I do wonder why Snape was so mean to him all those years when it
would have been more revenge on James to have had Harry for a surrogate son.
I would have liked to see more of Harry's godfatherly relationship with
Teddy.

But that said, I really enjoyed the book, and I know I read the last few
chapters with a smile permanently on my face.  Then I went back and re-read
the last few chapters, because I'd read them the first time through so
quickly I knew I had missed things (and I had).

I'm going to wait a while and then read the entire series again.  I think
some things will make far more sense now.
