I think Hermione herself would want to be working outside the home, but 
please don't say that if she made the choice to stay home, with loving 
and nurturing her family as her only full-time job (or if Ron did, for 
that matter, but he doesn't have the personality for it), please don't 
say that would be a waste.  That is completely disrespectful to women 
(and men) all over the globe who've made the same decision, and please 
don't think it's an easy one to make, either.

I think Teddy probably lived with his grandmother since she's just lost 
husband, daughter and son-in-law and Harry's only (about to be) 18.  

And while Teddy's 19, I think he's just there to snog Victoire and 
say "bye."  James tells his family Teddy told James he was "seeing 
Victoire off" and then basically to get lost.
