>  <snip>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.

Najwa now:
I agree with Katie. Law enforcement is always necessary, and Harry
definitely would do nicely as an auror.

Katie again:
>   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.<snip>

Najwa:
I agree with this too, Katie. To have Hermione , of all people, not
use that brilliant brain of hers for the betterment of human and magic
kind would definitely be a waste.

The issues I had with the epilogue was the confusion of everything.
For one, why wasn't Teddy Lupin living with the Potters? Isn't he
Harry's godson and an orphan? Also, why was Teddy at the platform? If
math serves me correctly, Teddy had to at least be 7 years older than
Harry's children, and considering James is at least a second year,
Teddy should have graduated by then.

I wasn't really pleased with the epilogue, but I did like that she
actually told us about the trio's employment status. I thought this
book would tell everyone about what James Potter did for a living, but
I guess that will remain a mystery, unless we could count the Order of
the Phoenix" as a job.
