And yes! That's exactly how I felt. When Harry started telling Albus about Severus, I thought he was going to end with something like: "so it's alright if you're in Slytherin" or "you can be in Slytherin and be proud of it" ... instead he says, "well, go on and choose to maintain the status quo, if you really want to go on being prejudiced." And of course Albus would choose Gryffindor; he's a little kid and doesn't even know what prejudice is.
Eeek. In some ways the epilogue makes me so happy, in other ways so depressed. That is why I love it.
