I don't understand how it is messy writing. Sure there are many
unresolved story archs in the HP books but there are many unresolved
issues in life. 30 years after Martin Luther King and we still deal
with racism today. Are we to say the Martin Luther King is a failure
and an unresolved story arch.
The whole thing that makes JKR's writing so good to me is that it is
ersatz to our own world. Grand sweeping story archs and problems like
house elves and goblins don't go away within the storyline of a book
or in real life. So as a true parralell to slavery and racism the
house-elf issue remains unresolved.
