Things I still want to know: Celeste, I agree that there are enough loose ends to knit a hat for on of the house-elves (or to fill an eighth book?). I too am really curious about what Harry, Ron, and Hermione wound up doing with their lives. I'd kinda pegged Harry for a DADA teacher at Hogwarts, and I could see Hermione's becoming headmistress at some point. (I've noticed though that Hogwarts profs all seem to be single; strange job requirement or just a coincidence?) In the shorter term, I'm hoping dear old McGonagall got the round office. I've also be wondering -- What ever happened to Winky? -- What happens to Kreacher? -- Do house-elves ever get/want their freedom? -- Does Griphook try to reclaim the sword of Gryffindor? -- Was the Sorting Hat destroyed? (It appears from the epilogue that the houses survived.) -- Is there significance to the epilogue's being 19 years later? I'm also still puzzling over the metaphysics of Harry's death and nondeath? Is it just coincidence that the celestial station where Harry and Dumbledore meet contains the word cross (major symbol of death and resurrection) in its name?
