Well, now that I got a chance to read it after all, I can join in the fun--I loved all those same things you mentioned, and this, which hit me almost as soon as it happened in the book:
Neville Longbottom=Fredegar Bolger! The good friend left behind, who ends up the real hero of the homefront resistance!
And oh, Molly Weasley! Her duel with Bellatrix was awesome! I've always known that Molly had to be a far more powerful witch than she was being given credit for--I mean, look how she has always easily handled the chaos that is The Burrows!
And I am so glad I was wrong on one thing: I was sure the "red" character that would have to die was Hagrid! Perhaps he's the one who survived the chopping block. And I never expected both Remus and Tonks to bite the dust!
