A few more Deathly Hallows musings

[meteordust]

Spoilers.

* James and Lily were *21* when they died. They were *kids*.

* As soon as it was confirmed that Dumbledore (1) actually was 17 once, and (2) used to have a handsome blond friend with whom he shared great ambitions, I knew there would be Dumbledore/Grindelwald. Oh, fandom. There are already *communities* for it.

* I honestly thought Lupin would be the survivor of all the Marauders. I should have realised that in this series, getting married and having a baby doesn't remove you from danger, but the opposite.

* Also, asking a close friend to be godfather to your child is like showing your buddy a photo of your sweetheart back home.

* Biggest moment of awesome? Neville! Wielding the sword of Gryffindor! Cutting off the serpent's head!

Yes that Neville bit was pretty cool - out of all the characters Neville has probably developped the most since the beginning of the series.

He's come a long way from being that shy, awkward kid on the train. Now he's leading rebellions and being a hero - can't wait to see some of those scenes in the movie.

I agree with the last part.

GO NEVILLE! YOU'RE NOT A FILLER AFTER ALL!

He got to show his true Gryffindor colours. Yay!

Haha Dumbledore/Grindelwald. I expected something to come up. :D

this amuses me so much.

Whoa. They are hot! (And also probably ten years younger than me or something, alas.)

It struck me how young James and Lily were, too.

I'd always assumed they were thirtyish. But it seems like everyone in the Potterverse has kids young.
