I was pointed here by a few people on my flist, and wow. I really like your take on it. I have to say that at first I was disappointed with the epilogue, but now that I've read this and a few other defenses of it on my flist, I've started to change my mind. If JKR intended all of this, just wow. If not... well, it's still wow that people can read all of these different things into it. This is exactly why I like it that JKR doesn't tie everything up nicely and still leaves a few loose ends.
