The major problem that I still have, even after mulling it all over, is 
the feeling that most things in the Wizarding World have just stayed 
exactly as they were. The most depressing aspect is the continued 
feeling that Slytherin House is the abode of the damned. 

Someone on another thread or even another group, suggested that we 
started out seeing Harry's world as a Utopia. By the end of the books 
we know quite clearly that it's a Dystopia but the Epilogue shows us 
that the inhabitants haven't realised it yet.
