A few years later.  Would the OOTP still be in operation?  I can't imagine the Order continuing on.  After all, the main person they were out to defeat was now dead.  Course all couldn't be wonderful and safe in the WW.  There still had to have been evil still out there.  Not necessarily LV evil, but people up to no good just the same.  Or would have Aurers have that covered.

Any speculation that Harry set up housekeeping at #12 Grimmauld Place after the Battle of Hogwart's?  He did inherit it from Sirius.  Maybe it reminded Harry of too many bad things and he let the house be and it fell apart from lack of care.  Or maybe he sold it.  If the OOTP still existed, maybe it continued to be headquarters for the OOTP?

Would Ginny be willing to set up housekeeping there?  Raise their children there?  I was under the impression that the entire house was pretty gloomy, even though the OOTP did clean it up.  Plus it had some Black family stuff that would not come off the walls.  That would not be cheery to have around.

What about Kreacher?  Harry did send him off to Hogwart's to work in the kitchen.  Did Kreacher come back into Harry's service as a free elf?  I can't imagine Harry keeping him enslaved.
