Amen to all that! You, as always, hit the nail on the head several million times above. And your explanations of the journey, and the widening of the world, will definitely make me reread and look a little closer at the middle three hundred pages :) I too noticed the excessiveness of commas, pretty mad for a woman who was training to be a teacher before HP happened!
And of course we're entitled to an "OMG WE WERE SOOOOOO RIGHT!!11ELEVENTY1" moment about Snape being the good guy - and the notion of selfless love conquering all was just perfect.
Neville...how could I forget Neville - what a star! And how wonderful that his Gran was so proud of him. He truly came into his own in this one.
