Things that I wanted that I got: 
History of Dumbledore
Fred & George's success
Finding out SOMETHING about Goblins.
Snape WAS an antimorty. 

Things I did not get:
OK, here, I'm going to give more details.
1) I was REALLY upset about Slytherin. With the "unite the houses" message, I figured that either some Slytherins would point out that it was in their own self-interest to oppose Morty, or for, at the very least, a failure to include Slytherin would work against Harry. Neither happened. 

2) OK, I know it's a cliche, but I was disappointed to see Harry's Quidditch skills to be a red herring. At the very least, he should have used SOME strategy in marshalling the troops. Consider: At the battle of Hogwarts, the missing Firebolt is recovered; Harry, with his own problems, picks a good seeker (Ginny? Draco????) to fly among the giants, confusing them, and getting them to attack their own troops. Just an example.
