Must've been some magic there that he had been witholding ever since losing Mrs. Black as a mistress.

Interesting thought, but I don't think think it really fits with what JKR said. Kreacher could always do magic, he just didn't want to for a long while.

I still think it's either Merope or it's something she decided not to include after all.

Of course! It just hit me reading this comment why Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione don't have a son named Fred (assuming that Fred isn't James's or Hugh's middle name). George is the one with a son named Fred.

My other thought was that while George is alive, they won't name anyone else Fred. It wouldn't be the same.

So the reprieved indiviudal has been revealed- it was Mr. Weasley!

He was originally going to die in book 5! I am so happy he didn't. I think it would have broken my heart and added unnecessary drama.

From the story: She will "probably" publish some sort of encyclopedia giving us history and back stories as well as more information about what happened between the last chapter and the epilogue.

McGonagall is NOT headmistress, Harry is not the DADA professor, although the position isn't jinxed anymore. Arthur was saved at the cost of another father in Book 7 - Ted Tonks? Lupin? Am I forgetting someone obvious?

And don't hold your breath for the encyclopedia.
