I also thought we would be hearing more about the backgrounds of James and Lily. Overall, I thought this was much deeper and darker than the others...and I was very glad to have so much explained!!
I guess it figures that Dumbledore would die ... Harry does have to do stuff on his own. But, really, why does everyone who cares for him die? I just thought it was a little much to kill off Sirius in OotP and then, just as he's getting really close to DD, kill him off too.
Also, I feel like the good side (order of the phoenix and such) is really losing at this point. One thing that really stuck out to me ---Harry did not fight Voldemort at all in this book. While we learned a ton about V., we still never saw him. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that this is the first book where we don't meet/see/overhear Voldemort!
Anyway, I can't wait for the 7th (and, tear, last) one! 2 years is WAYYYY too long!
