that seems to happen to me too, or they suffer huge devastating loss. I suppose the epilogue was supposed to make us all walk away happy, but it didn't. Neville and Luna kicked ass! still, I don't see myself ever reading DH again, and I may not see the film until it comes out on DVD (so I can skip over Fred's death and George's ear). even if the twins had remained untouched, I still would've disliked the book. don't get me started about Remus/Tonks...that never should have happened!
