All in all, I feel like Wart after his night among the falcons -- "What a horrible 
grand crew!" I can't help but think the Muggles are well shut of wizardkind,
good and bad.

I can't quite figure out what happened with the wands either, but that's
probably the point --  DD and Voldie  both got it wrong. I
suppose Snape could have dropped a few hints, and lived on, but chose to die 
when there was a chance of giving his memories to Harry. Very like 
Krum catching the snitch. I think he'd be pleased that Lily's grandson
bears his name but sheesh! I don't think life is going to be easy for
young Albus Severus no matter which House he gets sorted into.
They might as well have named him Sue! (oh dear, I feel a filk 
coming on.)

I have to thank Jo for making Lupin a credible red herring. I
wonder if it was Tonks and Lupin who got pulled from the epilogue
and sent off to the NGA just to make it clear which side they were on? 
You know, there's very little of ESE!Lupin which is actually refuted by
canon. If I hadn't sworn otherwise, I'd be tempted to theorize that
he got away with it. <g>
