- Both parents of a new baby somehow found it was appropriate to run off and fight knowing they and their chosen godparent probably wouldn't make it (but no worries, I mean they did spend *several months* with the kid so he won't feel abandoned or betrayed that *one* of them didn't stay to protect him in case Voldemort won). - Slytherins = unequivocally evil and they all need to be sent back to Death Eater parents pre-battle? Great job, McGonagall. Oh no, wait, great job, Rowling. Way to show things all in black and white. Because no one "ambitious" would want to see the Dark Lord defeated and act in their own self-interest to help see it done. - If I were a potions master/dark wizard/double agent fooling around with a dark wizard and his gigantic poisonous snake *and* I had the presence of mind to carry random flasks around in my robes during epic battles and confrontations with Snakey-pants... wouldn't I have tossed a bezoar in my pocket just in case of bites? - Also, I'm irritated by the ending/sacrifice/kill me to kill him thing, too. It always seems like such a cheap ending.
I don't know what she thought she was doing, but I guess it's her book. I liked the book as a whole, but the last 100 pages I was just pissed off.
