I still don't understand why everybody has to marry and then have kids
THIS was my big beef with the end of the story. You can grow up, not marry, not have kids, be successful and be happy. It's not a moral abnormality to be single and content. I kinda felt throughout the books that Harry would have been better off like that, personally... not that he would be a bad husband or that no woman was worthy of him, just that he was apart from them just enough to never quite fully fit in... if that makes sense? You can have a lot of good close friendships without ever finding a soulmate, and there's nothing wrong with that. For some reason, Harry kinda gave me that vibe. I know he was just a child-turned-teenager throughout the books, but... him in the epilogue unmarried would have not upset me at all.

But I guess then JKR couldn't have Harry name a son after Dumbledore and Snape without having him hook up with a girl, and the hook-up better be FOREVER because morality (can you imagine how much of a witch-hunt JKR would've gotten from outraged parents of underaged readers if she'd had Harry have a child out of wedlock?)

That whole epilogue just soured the book for me, honestly. I liked it up until the end... that ending just really sat wrong with me.
