Frankly, as several of us said nearly five years ago, we thought the epilogue 
was a waste of space.

Actually, the picture given of Harry seemed quite good. A lot of fanfiction often
assumes that Harry intensely disliked the limelight and wanted nothing more 
than a quiet life with just the family which I think is borne out by his reactions 
in the books. My only niggle about that is that I have never liked Ginny as a 
character...
