I know that I'm really late to this conversation, but I agree with what you said about DH. I did like it, but it wasn't my favorite of the books (Book 5 is my favorite). DH left me with a lot of questions, and it has potential problems with it. Still, overall I'm satisfied with it, though I'm sad that HP has ended. It's hard to remember what I first thought about DH, but I'm going to try and answer your questions anyway: 1) If it makes you feel any better, I thought that the Voldemort has Lily's blood and protection thing confusing. 2) I don't think that I ever thought that the Malfoys were dead. 3) I thought the epilogue was too "happily ever after" until I read your chilling version of it. 4) Oh my gosh, the part where they are on the run and camping is SO SLOW. 5) I never thought that Lupin and Tonks would die! I guess I can understand why it had to happen, but still, their deaths seemed excessive. 6) I never cry at movies or books. Ok, I got misty-eyed when Dumbledore died in Book 6. But really, I don't get emotional easily. 7) I laughed at the humor in the book. There wasn't that MUCH humor, but I laughed at what was there. 8) Oh my gosh, reading takes me forever. Probably 2 or 3 days, I think. Of course, I don't read all through the night or anything, so the actual amount of hours would be less than that. But I read HP books pretty quickly, so you can tell that I'm a slow reader. So, yes, that's what I thought. Thanks for your analysis! I'm always interested to hear what people think about HP. =)
