Potioncat:
I need to go back and re-read the ending of DH. I'm still on my very 
slow second read of the book.

Yaxley is taller than Snape, who is shorter than Black.

If I have it right, the idea of Flitwick not being the best fighter is 
from HBP. I don't know whose theory it is. The idea was that after the 
DEs entered Hogwarts, McGonagall sent Flitwick to get Snape. Some 
readers thought it was unusual that McGonagall would send a full wizard 
on an errand, instead of sending one of the students.

Hermione and Luna saw Flitwick go into Snape's office, then heard a 
noise. When Snape came out of his office, he said Flitwick had fallen. 
Snape sent Hermione and Luna in to help Flitwick.

Both sides of the Snape debate thought Snape had done something to 
Flitwick. But in any case, Snape kept Flitwick, Hermione and Luna out 
of the battle.
