Wow. Just WOW!
Some of my predictions were spot on, more were way off. But WOW.
I re-read the last 3 chapter about 3 times. So well done. And I see now what JKR was referring to when she said in an interview that when she has been asked if she believes in God and has answered "yes," she has been glad no one has pressed her further because she thought that would give too much of the ending away.

That was good, but I thought this was even funnier:

I went back and checked, and apparently that statement was from an interview in 1999, before the publication of POA. The speculation I have seen is that she was referring to Voldemort's mother, Merope Gaunt. Alternatively, it is quite possible that that's a plot point she decided to drop later on.

I think she meant that Hagrid was the one who got the reprieve, and Tonks and Lupin were the ones whom she hadn't originally planned to kill. But as soon as they made Harry Teddy's godfather, things didn't look good.
