If you want to know more about the fate of the characters than you
learned in the epilog see an interview Rowling just gave that goes
into a lot more detail: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19959323/ 

james black potter:
Ugh. Now I'm extremelly glad about the short epilogue. Rowling has not really thought about post-Hogwarts...
Auror!Harry makes no sense, these ideas are dated. Thanks God she let this stuff out of the canon.
"... the ministry evolves into a 'really good place to be". Yeah, sure.
   
  ***Katie replies:***
  I completely (but respectfully) disagree. I totally wish she had put that stuff in there! Harry as an Auror makes total sense. As JKR was anxious to point out through the entire series (EXCEPT the epilogue), the world isn't divided into good people and Death Eaters. After Voldemort's death, there are still going to be nasty, bad wizards out there that need to be caught. Aurors will still be needed, and that is what Harry always wanted to do, once fake Moody had put the idea in his head. Also, Harry, I think, would be unable to settle down into a banal family life. Yes, he would relish his time with Ginny and his kids, but he would need more. I think an Auror is exactly right for him, and I have no idea why she did not put that in there.
  I also liked hearing that Hermione was involved in an overhaul at the MoM. Seeing her simply as Ron's wife was sort of sickening to me. "The most brilliant witch of her age" becomes just Mrs. Ronald Weasley?? Yuck. Hermione would have needed to exercise her brain and her social justice bent. She could never have been uninvolved from the world of magical politics. 
  I am very sorry JKR did not put these things in the epilogue. It would have been much more fulfilling.  Katie
