| Remaining Questions
JKR got to a lot... but she could never cover it all. Any questions that still linger after finishing Deathly Hallows? I know I would have loved to find out what's behind the veil, what Lily and James did for a living, and what Dudley saw during the Dementor attack.

There was very little said about Sirius' death, as she had promised <3
What they did with Mad-Eye was never answered either.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Seth Moore First Year | Ali's Apprentice | | SuperEvilAwesomePanda! The veil is probably the most frustrating mystery that went unanswered in DH for me .
I also know there was a whole chapter devoted to this but it was mostly based on Snape's feeling but I would have loved a bit more of this Snape/Lily stuff in depth. Although I also realize how impossible it could have been with the book already large enough. But - I would have loved to know how Lily really felt about Snapey and Jamesy.. *sigh*
How Ginny and Harry reunited in love I really wish their reunion had been in the book 
There were a lot more unanswered questions as well but those were the ones I could think of right now.

I do have many questions still, but something happened that I cannot remember them! I do remember one, though...
When asked about what happens when a Secret-Keeper dies, JK Rowling answer in her site: Quote:
In other words, a secret (eg, the location of a family in hiding, like the Potters) is enchanted so that it is protected by a single Keeper (in our example, Peter Pettigrew, a.k.a. Wormtail). Thenceforth nobody else – not even the subjects of the secret themselves – can divulge the secret.
However, in the book, it happens in a completely different way. What was that about?!

camilas, it wasn't a completely differend way in the book...at least not when i read it. what part was it different at.
And, I have a question...at the end, when neville kills nagini, how did he get godric gryffindor's sword? I mean, i know he pulled it out of the sorting hat and all like harry had did in CoS, but i thought it was with the goblin? how could it just appear like that?

I have a lot of little questions, but the ones that burn the most are:
What job did Harry end up pursuing?
Did George continue with Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes?
Who raised Ted?

Yeah the veil, what is it? What did Harry and Ginny do for a living after Hogworts (I would have loved to see him as Headmaster). Where does Ginny and Harry live? Godric's Hollow? How about Ron and Hermione, I mean I don't see them living at the Borrow with Ron's parnets. And of course Weaslys Wizarding Weezes. Did George still own and operate it? And draco, what did he become? We know he's married, but does he have his fathers mansion or his money? Or is a plain old work'n wizard now? Is Draco still pro pure blood or does ho accept others now? What about Minerva McGonacil? Or Hagrid? Seems some things where left open for interpitation. I read where J.K. said she would leave some things open.

1.)I want to know what happened to the supporters of Voldemort. Like Draco's parents and Draco even.
2.) I wanna know why in the epiloge that Draco gave them a curt nod instead of a sneer.
3.) Why did Harry give one of his kids Snape's name? I know what he did for Harry and all well for Harry's mom but how does that erase seven years of hate and distrust?
4.) It's been nineteen years later. That would make Ted 19 why would they just now be offering him to live with them. He should be graduated from Hogwarts and working. (I believe Ted was raised by his grandmother like Nevile was.)Just my opinion.
5.) Who are the parents of Victoire's. I'm thinking its Bill and Fluer's but not sure.
There are other questions but none are coming to mind at the moment still reeling from the book.

I'm a huge Ron and Hermione shipper, so I'm dying to know more about their relationship!
I too want to know what Dudley saw when he confronted the Dementer.
Who displayed magic later in life? Was this answered?
What do the Trio do now (job wise)?
I never really understood the importance of Harry having his mum's eyes...
What did Dumbledore and Petunia discuss in their letters? (Or is that referencing child Petunia's letters to Dumbledore?)
What happened to Fawkes? Quote:

When asked about what happens when a Secret-Keeper dies, JK Rowling answer in her site:
However, in the book, it happens in a completely different way. What was that about?! Agreed! No one was supposed to be able to say or show the house, but suddenly they could. I caught this one early on, and wasn't very happy. Blar. Quote:

Why was it important that Harry's patronus was a Stag? That just....was never answered, in my opinion.
What happens with WWW? What happens with George? This one is super important to me cos the Twins have always been in my Top Fave Characters list. Always.

I thought Hermione's middle name was Jane, but the book says it's Jean. Anyone else confused?

Harry's patronus was a stag because that was the form James took as an animagus... see PoA.
Secondly Harry's eyes are important because they reminded Snape of Lily
Did anyone catch how Petunia learned about the demontors and azkaban? It was snape who let her know! she found out when spying on them. She must have remembered it bc she was afraid for her sister.
As for the Dementor and Dudly.. I believe he saw his pigs tail, and being attacked. Bullies are weak, they supress other people, and the people they supress are the ones they frea the most. That was why he was afraid of Harry after he learned what harry could do to him...
As for the veil... its an entrance to death. people were whispering behind it, weren't they? The ministry was messing with death. I don't think they succeeded in maiking people come back though.
As for Ted, he was probably raised by his grandmother, who had probably passed away recently. That would be why he would come live with them. OR his grandmother was still living, but He had moved out, was lonely, and practically lived at the Potter's anyway.
I'm sure george would have continued the business. It would have insulted Fred if he had closed it.
As for Draco, he gave Harry a curt nod because he respected harry and was grateful to him. I doubt they ever becae friendly, though.
Harry didnt find the stone because he didnt want to. remember? he said he would not go looking for it. He didnt need or want it. He didnt keep the wand either.
And I guess Lily chose james because he did not follow the dark lord. Also, Remus said that he became more sympathetic as he grew older.
Luna married Neville of course. haha. Im only guessing.
Also did you notice that harry did not tell Albus (his son) about Lord Voldemort and himself (the passengers on the train stared at harry, and Albus wanted to know why). I thought that was great. Harry, still the modest man.
Also, Dumbledore, Harry, and Voldemort are all related to the Peverell family.
The only thing I want to know, is if Harry, Ron, or Dumbledore is the heir of gryffindor. Ron did pull the sword from the lake. Neville also weilded the sword. Neville got the sword from the hat. Godric was the true owner, I guess. Maybe it worked like the wand. It ha dno allegiance to the goblins but to gryffindor that showed the same qualities valued by Godric Gryffindor. Futhermore, I think Harry could be a descendant of Gryffindors because he, like Ignotus, lived in Godric's Hallow... Its feeble but maybe...

Nope. JKR shot that down a long time ago. Check the Rumours section of her site. I think Luna ended up with Dean! And I have no idea about Neville.

I read the book pretty quickly - straight through in 9 hours. I think I compeltely missed this. But I think I most want to know: Who was the person that did magic later in life?
Some other questions not answered were:
1. Who will leader of the Order?
2. What are the twelve uses of dragon's blood?

Anyways, questions:
1. Who showed magic late in life?
2. The veil. What exactly was it?
3. What exactly did Dudley see?
4. What were Harry's parents' jobs?
Mmm, that's it for now. She'll probably answer them in interviews though

Victoire is most probably Bill and Fleur's, given the French connection and also that she's seeing Teddy, and their ages would be about similar.
The only thing that doesnt make sense is why are they still on Hogwarts students if this is NINETEEN years later? Shouldn't they have graduated already?
