Kemper now:
Me, too!!
Even though the series is done, the soft/paperback edition isn't out.
 If she could so readily change the US HBP soft/paperback edition to
leave out some of DD's comments to Draco on the tower, perhaps in the
US DH soft/pb edition, it could include a short line while they're in
the RR:
Daphne Greengrass holding hands with Theodore Nott whispered something
to Neville.

...or a brief paragraph during the battle:
Theodore Nott cast an AK at his dad who dodged it while simultaneously
shooting his own killing curse back at his son.  The green flash hit
Theodore, who fell to the floor with a look of brief sadness. 

Kemper, imploring JKR for the slightest of rewrites
