Pointed here from deathly_hallows. This was brilliant... gave me chills and really made me look at the epilogue differently, which is good. I mean, I understood JKR's point of the epilogue, but you've expressed it so eloquently, and put into words what I couldn't even put into coherent thought. I'm glad I read this! :D

Also, I like that you ended this "all is well"... nice touch ;)
